Tsukimi (Moon Viewing) Manju

Tsukimi is a Japanese festival honoring the first full moon of Autumn. The celebration takes place on the 14th of September on the lunisolar calendar this year.

There are many varieties of manju, but most have an outside made from flour, rice powder and buckwheat and a filling of an (red bean paste), made from boiled azuki beans and sugar.

We look at the moon, enjoying the beauty silence. Tsukimi also has the meaning of celebrating the autumn harvest.
