About the Full Moon Festival "Tsukimi" : The celebration of the full moon festival "tsukimi" typically takes place on the 15th day of the eighth month of the traditional Japanese calendar. These days normally fall in September and October of the modern solar calendar. The tradition dates to the Heian era, and is now so popular in Japan that some people repeat the activities for several evenings following the appearance of the full moon during the eighth lunisolar month. Tsukimi traditions include displaying decorations made from Japanese pampas grass (susuki) and eating rice dumplings called Tsukimi dango in order to celebrate the beauty of the Moon and seasonal produce are also displayed as moon offerings.
