Tonight is the Harvest Moon.
Living in a high-rise condominium, it feels as though the moon appears a bit closer. (It's probably just my imagination!)
Tonight is the annual celebration of the Harvest Moon. Seeing the full moon is joyful in its own way.
I think I will visit the florist. I’ll arrange the silver grass, eat some moon-viewing dumplings, and enjoy.
Later, I'll reflect the moon in my sake cup and admire its beauty while savoring the sake. (I'll just pretend to drink!)
I have this moon-viewing custom every year.
While living in Japan, I try to honor Japanese traditions. There are many frustrating things about the Japanese government, administration, and media, but I always feel that Japanese culture is wonderful.
Today is the Harvest Moon. It would be happy if I could appreciate the beautiful moon with my family, friends from north to south,
and acquaintances.
I wonder if pictures of the beautiful moon will be exchanged? It’s a joyful moment.
