Dear discuss-lfm members,
In autumn, the air is clear and the moon looks especially beautiful,
so it is enjoy gazing of bright moon.
We offer "tukimi dango"(moon gazing dumplings), newly harvested crops
to the moon. Japanese pampas grass is added for decoration.
We say "tukimi". "tuki" is moon in Japanese. "mi" is gazing. "Tukimi"
is a prayer for a good harvest.
I show you "tukimi" in kanji character.
tuki mi
