For Japanese, Tsukimi, or in english 'Moon Viewing' , is the one day of the year when the moon is supposed to be 'full' and at its brightest. Usually Tsukumi is celebrated on the 15th of August on the Solar Calendar but this date often changes, Has anyone ever seen the rabbit, who lives in the moon, working away at making rice dumplings on this day?



The Art of Storytelling: Naho Shioya and William Satake Blauvelt of Aono Jikken Ensemble were among several other performances at this year's Moon Viewing (Tsukimi) at the Seattle Japanese Garden.
