It was cloudy and rather chilly.

I expected to see the miracle moon which happened once in 171 years but unfortunately it was cloudy.....
There is only one moon, but it is interesting to be seen differently.

Human being is the same.  Every one is unique.  But depends on people they are seen differently.

It was fine and warm like May today.

There was a visitor in the morning.   Then I went to shrine, grocery shopping, and banks.

They say there was kaiki　gesshoku (皆既月食) the total eclipse of the moon in the USA.  And it is called as the  Blood Moon because it looks red.  Have you seen it?
In Japan you can see it on October 8 this year.

Now we can see the beautiful full moon in Japan.

It was another beautiful autumn day.  It was fine and clear, slightly windy, and a bit cool in the morning and evening but still hot in the daytime.

Tonight is jyugoya (十五夜), the 15th night.  It is August 15 in the old calendar.  And the moon of this day is especially called as chushu no meigetsu (中秋の名月), harvest moon of mid autumn.  It is rare that the full moon ( 満月: mangetsu) falls on this day, jyugoya.  Today is full moon, and we can see the beautiful full moon.  Next time will be 8 years later in 2021.  So I feel lucky I could see and take pictures of the full moon tonight.

After the training I went to the tea lesson.  Today's sweet was tsukimi manju (月見まんじゅう) moon-viewing dumpling.

It was another hot day.
I saw the beautiful moon tonight.  They say it will be full moon and blue moon tomorrow, so it will be even more beautiful.
I am looking forward to watching it.

１２月１０日（jyuni gatsu toka）： December 10

It was a very cold beautiful day. Coldest day of this winter.

Today is the day of the total eclipse of the moon. It is kaigki gesshoku (皆既月食) in Japanese. It's been 11 years since it happened in all over Japan last time.
They say we could see it anywhere in Japan, so I expected. But unfortunately it is cloudy around here, and I could not see it. But after that I saw the beautiful moon.

Did you see the total eclipse of the moon?
