The name literally means "moon viewing." The festival is usually held in September or early October, during the full moon closest to the autumn equinox. This year, it falls on 06.10. The tradition of Tsukimi dates back to the Heian period (794–1185). At that time, court aristocracy held elegant banquets, during which they admired the moon's reflection in water, recited poetry, and played instruments. Over time, the custom spread among all social classes. During Tsukimi, people decorate their homes with susuki (pampas grass stalks), which symbolize abundant harvests. According to Japanese legends, a rabbit (usagi) lives on the moon, pounding mochi – rice cake. The rabbit is also a zodiac sign, symbolizing luck, gentleness, kindness, and elegance. It is also associated with ambition, growth, and striving for goals. This Thursday, we invite you to Japanese sumi-e painting workshops dedicated to this festival. We will paint the full moon and rabbits. The Japanese painting workshops are led by members of the Sumi-e Academy group. 🌕 TOPIC: Moon and Rabbit 📅 DATE: 09.10.2025 💰 PRICE: 180 PLN/person ⏰ Duration: From 17:00 to 19:00 📞 CONTACT: - E-mail: [email protected] - Tel.
