   Hi, guys!! This year’s “Otsukimi” is come. Today, we have very very clear sky, so, we can see soooooooooooooo beautiful Full moon. We hold Otsukimi(お月見) on 15th of August by our old calendar(旧暦).

   I took its picture. And I remember a child song “月(moon)” like this.

1. Detadeta tsukiga
   出た出た　月が
   Maruimarui manmarui
   丸い丸い　まん丸い
   Bonnoyōna tsukiga
   盆のような　月が
2. Kakureta kumoni
   隠れた　雲に
   Kuroikuroi makkuroi
   黒い黒い　まっ黒い
   Suminoyōna kumoni
   墨のような　雲に
3. Matadeta tsukiga
   また出た　月が
   Maruimarui manmarui
   丸い丸い　まん丸い
   Bonnoyōna tsukiga
   盆のような　月が

   If you want, listen to the song.

   In second Lyrics, he is covered with thick clouds. But, this has never happened tonight. Who is he? He is the moon. Don’t think it is my mistake. In Japan the god of moon is a man named 月讀命(Tsukuyomi no mikoto). (^^)
