Japanese people look forward to the moon of “Otsukimi” (Viewing the moon).
The “Otsukimi” is an event to admire the moon on August 15 of the Lunar calendar (This year’s full moon is September 13).
The moon of this day is called “tchuu-shuu-no-meigetsu” (harvest moon), “jyuu-goya” (full moon night). and so on.
This day, we have a traditional culture of decoration by the “susuki” (pampas) and “tsukimi-dango” (dumpling for moon).
By the way, the Japanese believe that there is a rabbit on the moon.
The reason why there is a rabbit on the moon comes from the Buddhist narrative. This story is still handed down to Japanese people.
“The rabbit went to search for food for a hungry old man (God).
But nothing was found, the rabbit jumped himself into the fire to offer as food.
The rabbit’s feeling of self-sacrifice impressed the old man. And the legend says that God drove the rabbit to the moon as a sublime.”
The rabbit is a symbol of good luck, presenting prosperity.
We hope that these items will be able to deliver the Japanese tradition of moon appreciation as well as bring you luck and happiness.
