What is TSUKIMI?
Tsukimi literally translates to “moon viewing” or “looking at the moon.” The tsukimi tradition of holding parties to view the moon dates back to the Heian period of Japan or about 794 to 1185 A.D. It was traditionally a way of expressing gratitude for a good harvest and aligns with the full autumn moon, typically taking place in September. The image of a rabbit in the moon might be a play on the word mochizuki, which means full moon, but sounds like the word for mochi pounding, mochitsuki!
The 2022 Davis Tsukimi Festival is hosted by the Davis Cherry Blossom Festival organizers and is a broadly third-space project where different corners of Asian America and beyond come together to build community, share art and culture, and have a good time!
