The custom of this festival was introduced to Japan during the Heian period (794-1185) and became an elegant way for the nobility to watch the moon.
The aristocrats of the time would set up a banquet table aboard a boat on a peaceful pond, drink sake and celebrate the moon reflected on the surface of the pond.
Moon cake is a Chinese moon-shaped cake often eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is now also found in Japan.
Moon Festival
The Mid-Autumn Festival, or Moon Festival, has its origins in a Chinese custom. It is celebrated in various East and Southeast Asian countries on the evening of the 15ᵉ day of the eighth lunar month, which can vary depending on the year between early September and early October on the Gregorian calendar. The 15ᵉ night of the lunar calendar is a full moon night. This year, the Mid-Autumn Festival takes place on 29 September.
This is a traditional event during which the full moon symbolises harmony, and families gather around a meal to contemplate the moon and wish each other happiness.
