#otsukimi

[giz-art]

And here is the complete composition ^ ^

Still my old couple, Miyu and Jacke, the japanese ghost and the druid, the moonbunny and the hare/stag, Otsukimi and Mabon. What can I say, I love them ♥ And as some evolutions are underwork I wanted to make another heavy japanese aesthetic with Miyu for Otsukimi (since she will slowly grow away from theses roots) ... But my brain just could not let Jacke appart XD

Really inspired by this palette too this days... I wonder if I could make a new enamel pendant with my moonbun logo.

晩に細い三日月🌙を見かけるようになりました。十五夜まであと約一週間。

A thin crescent moon 🌙 is seen at night these days. It takes about a week until “Jugoya” or “Otsukimi” which mean full-moon festival at September/October in Japan.

I made Tsukimi Soba noodles for my father and me and he didn’t understand the story with the rabbit on the moon, so I’m gonna try to explain it hahaha.. Here it goes: 

One night, the Man on the Moon came down to earth disguised as a beggar. He chanced upon a Fox, a Monkey, and a Rabbit and asked for some food. The Fox brought him fish from a stream, and the Monkey brought fruit from the trees, but the Rabbit could only offer grass. So he told the beggar to build a fire, and when it was built, threw himself onto the flames to offer himself to the Man. Amazed by the Rabbit's generosity, the beggar transformed back into the Man on the Moon and pulled the Rabbit from the fire. To honor the Rabbit's kindness, the Man on the Moon carried the Rabbit back to the moon to live with him. Now, if you look at the full moon, you can see the outline of the Rabbit pounding mochi on the moon.

Tsukimi means moon-viewing in Japanese and has been celebrated every September since the Heian period (794-1185). According to the lunar calendar, the moon is most beautiful around September 15th when it is at its fullest and nearest to the Autumnal equinox. Therefore this moon is also called harvest moon! In 2023, Tsukimi will be celebrated on the 29th of September, so how do people celebrate this special day and what’s its origin?

Tsukimi has been celebrated for a long time. The festival is said to be celebrated first during the Nara period (710-794) but it wasn’t until the Heian period (794-1185) that it became popular among aristocrats who would admire the moon’s reflection in the water and read 短歌 tanka poetry under the moonlight.

Nowadays people celebrate tsukimi with their loved ones, watching the moon and enjoying mochi or tsukimi dango. Other popular tsukimi foods are chestnuts, pumpkin, soba and udon. The room is usually decorated with susuki, Japanese pampas grass or silver grass. Men believes that the silver grass will protect the house from evil.

adding tetoris to the game MIGHT be a bad idea because the creator of the song is the same guy who made that one song

(im pretty sure you guys already know what im talking about)

[A video is embedded.

You can see a girl with long red hair and glasses sitting on the couch next to Ren, who's picking a song with a smirk on his face. Akechi stands in front of the screen, holding a microphone. "Are you almost done?"

Ren selects a song and gains a shit-eating grin. "Yep. I hope you like Momo's song!"

Akechi scowls as peppy idol music starts up, and the screen behind him reads "Otsukimi Recital". "Couldn't you have chosen anything else?"

The red-head giggles a little, and Ren's smile grows more genuine. "Hey, Sumi likes it. Gotta do it for her."

Akechi grumbles and starts to sing, his voice breaking a little during some of the high notes. "Feeling blue under the dazzling sun, to be honest, I really worry about you! On the brim of tears, you say, 'It's probably impossible for a coward like me...'"

Ren tries his best not to smile, as Akechi visibly cringes. "However, I believe you can do it— you're you, after all! So why not try looking ahead, like me! When everything turns bleak, I'll support your heart!"]
