Kingyo (Golden Fish)
Golden Fish, with their amazing vivid colors, they appeal to us.
In Japan, they are very popular as a pet fish.
It is said that Golden Fish first arrived to Japan over 600 years ago. However, back in the days a single Golden Fish was so expensive it could cost half million yen.
They were often gifted to kings and princesses as conceded goods.
In mid Edo-period, Golden Fish was able to cultivate and by the end of Edo-period, Golden Fish has become a common fish.

Otsukimi (viewing the moon)
In Japan, for more than a thousand years the September full moon has
been loved as the most beautiful moon of the year, and is called
“Jugoya”.
People decorate with silver grasses and offer rice dumplings to the moon on Jugoya night.
On the other hand, there is also a similar Japanese tradition of appreciating the moon in October, known as “Jusanya”.

This night is considered to be the second most beautiful.
Two days before the full moon, when the moon is only slightly waning, we Japanese feel a sort of charm in its incomplete beauty…
This way of enjoying the moon suits Japanese people very well.
Long ago, our calendar was based on the waxing and waning of the moon, and when you consider all the things such as farm work that were carried out based on this lunar calendar, the moon must have been something mysteriously powerful and sacred.
There is also an elegance in thinking of these kinds of things while you gaze at the moon.
