The fifteenth night of 2015 was September 27 (Sun).

It's also called the mid-autumn moon and the potato moon.

In fact, the fifteenth night is September 27, but the full moon is September 28.

It doesn't seem that fifteen nights are always full.

 

 

    

 

 This year, September 27 is the 15th of August in old calendar.

During this season, the moon rises at an angle suitable to look up in the clear night sky, and it is considered the best season for moon viewing, but typhoons often hit and fronts stagnate near the Japanese Islands It does not necessarily seem to be blessed with good weather in a wide area.

Fortunately, this time, we sometimes hiding in the clouds, but we were able to fully enjoy the beautiful moon.

"Fifteen nights" means "the 15th night when the New Moon Day is the first day", but in fact, since the cycle of the phases of the moon is not exactly one month, subtle differences depending on the year occur, "Mid-Autumn Moon" is not necessarily a full moon, and in this year, the next day is the full moon.

But it looks like a very bright moon, almost round.

This year, the 28th of the following day is the "Super Moon" day, where the moon turning around the earth in an elliptical orbit becomes the full moon at the time closest to the earth in the year.

You can enjoy a special month for 2 consecutive days.

By the way, the Super Moon on the 28th looks about 14% larger in diameter than the smallest full moon this year (March 6), and the brightness is about 30% higher.

It is said that Heian nobles enjoyed the moon reflected in cups and ponds, rather than looking directly at the moon.

Sumida River Terrace in Shinkawa Park. The river surface is illuminated by the light of the bridge, the outside lights, the lights of buildings on the riverbank, the lights of the water bus, etc., adding color to the atmosphere.

 

 

Blessed with fine autumn weather, Silver Week is a perfect day to walk around the city.

I went to the Harumi Canal for the first time in a long time and enjoyed the resort feeling nearby.

 
In fact, here Shin-Tsukuda (Tsukuda 3-chome neighborhood) flourished as a summer resort overlooking Tokyo Bay at the end of the Meiji era.

 
At the high-colored Kappo cuisine Ryokan, which was built at that time, young artists worked hard on writing, and regular customers Toson Shimazaki wrote the newspaper novel "Spring" and Kaoru Osanai wrote the Okawabata.

 
At present, concrete walls for tide protection are turned around by landfill, and there is no impression of scenic spot. However, the skyscrapers and sky trees of Toyosu on the opposite bank that shines in the autumn sky will delight your eyes.

 
We have also been asked for the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification Test, so we recommend that you extend your legs when walking around Tsukuda and Tsukishima.

　Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine in Tsukuda was separated from Tamino Shrine in Tsukuda-jima in 1646 (1646) in Tsukuda-jima, then in Tsukuda-mura, Nishinari-gun, Settsu-kuni (now Nishinari-ku, Osaka-shi). It was transferred to the current location (Monoshiri Encyclopedia p.107).　The fishermen who emigrated to Edo from Tsukuda-mura, Settsu-kuni have also contributed greatly to the landfill at Tsukiji.

　

　As a resident of Tsukuda, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, from Osaka City, I have long been hoping to see Ta Minoru Shrine in Tsukudamura, Nishinari-gun, Settsu-kuni, but it has finally been realized.

　

　The precincts of Tamino Shrine seem to be a little wider than Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine.

　

　

　

　　

　There is also a sign of donation from Mr. Fujima, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

　

　

　A monument and explanation related to Tsukudamura fishermen.

　　　　

　

　In the precincts, there is also the subsidiary shrine of Toshogu Shrine...

(I'm sorry that I couldn't take a picture and show it!)

　

In between the screenings, singer Haruna Sakurai attracted us with a very transparent and wonderful singing voice.

He performed a number of wonderful songs such as "To the 15th you", original songs, "Good night", and "Furusato".

　

This year, Mr. Shigemori said that he had a hard time making the selection.

Postscript: The warm applause of the 33rd sightseeing ambassador Miss, was impressive. Thank you very much.

　

 

 

 The annual "Mini Garden Guide Tour" takes a walk around the park with the guidance of a green adviser at the Pocket Plaza "Flowers / Water / Trees" in Harumi Triton Square.

The theme of this month, which will be held on September 3, is "If you feel a cool breeze ..."

If you think that you have been freed from sleeplessness since the heat has passed, you may feel cool in the morning and evening depending on the day.

The slope garden along the Asashio Canal was replanted just a few days ago with a dwarf sunflower "Good Smile" as if to spare summer.

The park is the turning point of the season, where flowers that keep the remnants of summer and flowers that make you feel the sign of autumn are mixed.

On the "Flower Terrace", the Aoiaceae American foli "Luna" attracts attention.

The plant height is dwarf, but the flowers are round.

You can enjoy the gorgeous red, pink and white flowers.

Beside the Triton statue is a lily family kuwansou (also known as Akinoisrelegusa).

I hear that it is one of Okinawa's traditional Shimano vegetables that has long been said to be effective in relaxing and sleeping, and has been roasted with stems and leaves and eaten as dishes and tea. (upper right image)

At this time, the rice plants that create the autumn atmosphere.

That's why I took up the grass book of the family Riceaceae this time.

Among them, the copper leaf ineoriza dochocola has a particularly distinctive feature.

The weather is moderate for a walk. While traveling around the park, this time it was a plant walk that learned how to enjoy flowers reflecting the season of changing from summer to autumn.
