I said [goodbye to summer].
Now I say hello to autumn.

Well...Let's start again from where we left off.
About "Jyu-go-ya".
This meaning is the fifteenth night.
Today is 22th September but Japanese people say"Tonight is Jyu-go-ya."
...well...I can't say it in English.

Looking and admiring the moon in autumn --the harvest season-- is a popular custom is Japan.

There used to be a way of faith to see full moon for a long time in Japan.
The full moon is a symbol of the fertility,it has been believed that a divine spirit dwelled in moonlight.

Intriguingly,European and Japanease are different ends of the spectrum about the full moon.

I Europe,it has been belived that the full moon disturbs hearts of people.
For example,we know it by thought that goddess of the moon indicates death and people morph into wlof man by the full moon.

By the way...as you have already realized,I love the moon and wolfs.
(You know it by my blog design.)
But I am not a satanist. I'm nature worship.

About "Jyu- go-ya"again.
This is Ju-go-ya image of Japanease.


We put up Japanese silver grass and mochi(rice dumpling)...many.
The ingredients vary depending on the region.
And we have fun of viewing the full moon.

Fantasy is connected to the moon.
There is a Japanese traditional thought that rabbits live in the moon.
Rabbits make mochi pounding(rice dumpling) in Jyu-go-ya.



Well...
We decoreted Jyu-go-ya object---Japanese silver grass and mochi(rice dumpling)---before a door at our bar.
This object was give zest to last night


There was flowing noodles out door at our bar.
We was in festive mood!


I looked up into space,but I couldn't view the moon.
The moon holed up in a building...fainally I couldn't view the moon.
These things just happenmour bar is right in the heart of town Tokyo.
But I had fun the moon viewing party so much,thank you for the moon!

Do you have some custom looking and admiring the moon in your country?
I like fantasy connected to the moon.
