“Moon Viewing-Tsukimi”
Today is a full moon. I saw a beautiful moon last night. In Japan, when we look up at the sky, we see roofs, electrical wires, or buildings under the moon. I often imagine that if I was in the Edo period or something, I would see a totally different view. I imagine an ancient atmosphere when I see this type of the modern view. I like this modern moon viewing as well.
“ 十五夜 お月見”
今日は十五夜です。昨夜はとても綺麗な月でした。日本で空を見上げると、屋根、電線、ビルなども一緒に目に入ってきます。もしこれが江戸時代か何かだったら全く違う風景なのかなとよく想像します。昔の風景を想像しながら現代の空を見上げます。この現代社会のお月見もそれはそれで好きです。

I was watching that same full moon, enjoying it and the crickets. And my beer haha. I also often wonder how it looked long ago. Without so many electric lights, it much have been incredibly bright to people in the old days. I can often understand why so many Japanese poets were always writing about the full moon.
It was a beautiful full moon. 🌕
Yes, I also guess Japanese poets were always seeing this beautiful moon and writing about it. We are still watching the same moon. I wish we still have wolves in Japan.
