中秋の名月-智恵も美も共に祝う収穫祭

今年は9月10日が中秋の名月。

秋晴れの空に浮かぶ中秋の名月　夜を優しく照らし　水に映る月の姿

秋の晴れた夜空の下で、収穫を祝う誰もが味わい楽しめる月の光

旧暦では毎月1日は新月、15日ごろには満月となります。暦を読む言葉により、次の畑仕事や行事が皆に分かりやすく、共同作業の土台になっていました。

お月見は元々中国から伝わった風習。平安貴族たちは月見の宴を開き、楽器を演奏したり、歌を詠んだりしていました。

江戸時代になると庶民にも広がり農家の収穫祭とお月見が一つとなり、全国のお祝いへと変化していったのです。作物を作る人々も、いただく人々も一つとなって、豊かな実りへの感謝祭を行うというのは、何よりも美しいことですね。

Mid-Autumn Moon - Harvest Celebrating Wisdom and Beauty Together

In 2022, September 10th is the Mid-Autumn Moon.

The moonlights gently illuminate the night

and the shape of the moon reflected in the water

The clear autumn sky allows the harvest's joy to become a celebration.

In Japan's old lunar and solar calendar, the 1st day of each month is the new moon, the 15th day is the full moon, and the season quotes words serve as a weather forecast. The calendar and talk of people about weather allowed collaborative knowledge and work to sustain. Everyone observed the winds and counted the rainy days to foresee the framing work and events.

Aristocrats of the Heian period in Japan enjoyed the moon viewing parties, originated in China, and enjoyed it by playing musical instruments and composing songs.

In the Edo period, with more people having time to enjoy, the moon viewing parties and harvest festival merged and became a national celebration.

Nothing is more beautiful than celebrating the food we need by playing music and composing songs.
