Thirteen moonlight bath auspicious
November 3 is Culture Day. And it was the evening of October tenth, old calendar.
There is a practice of "15 nights" praying for a good harvest in autumn, "13 nights" thanking for the harvest, and "10 nights" praying for the harvest of the following year as Sammi moon. It is a Japanese-style culture that reads the age of the autumn season, learns the timing of farming, and enjoys the rhythm of life and the atmosphere of the moon.
It is said that the moon looks beautiful after the 15th night and the 13th night in "Ten Night", and it is said that if these three days clear, it is good luck. I looked down the downstream area from Shinohashi, which is called the help bridge.

It is said that it was once a famous moon viewing spot near Edo and was called "Mitsumata". The Sumida River in Nihonbashihakozakicho is divided into three schools.
This year, I was able to see the moon in the clear autumn night sky.
The autumn moon will be shy.
