Viewing the Autumn Harvest Moon

Japanese take pleasure in viewing the autumn full moon. In ancient times it was preferable to view it reflected in a lake or cup of tea. Round rice cakes tsukimi dango (mochi) are placed on the veranda with pampas grass and flowers. Snoopy seems more intent on enjoying the tsukimi dango than viewing the large full moon. Moon rabbits pound rice into mochi in some depictions. 中秋の名月 秋
