Pampas grass remind us the full moon in September.
We have the event called “O-tsuki-mi”, “tsuki” means the moon and “mi” means seeing.
At the event, we use Japanese pampas grass(Miscanthus sinensis) for the decoration.
And we prepare sweets called “Tsukimi-dango”, and appreciate the beautiful moon.
“O-tsuki-mi” is held in around mid-September, 24th this year.
It is still hot days in Japan and a big typhoon caused a lot of damage.
Seeing wild flowers from Autumn field heals me, and makes feel Autumn air.

Patrinia scabiosaefolia called “ominaeshi” and Japanese pampas grass is the one of 7 wild flowers in Japan.
“Manyousyu,” which is the oldest anthology of “tanka”(a kind of poem) edited in 7-8th century,shows people at that time loved yellow autumn leaves and ominaeshi was appreciated as “yellow of wild autumn filed.”
Pacific saury is the one of best autumn foods in Japan. The next day I visited parents and…
had dinner, it was pacific saury again!
