Happy Halloween 2022

Dark skies kiss strange flight
Witches, clowns and elves delight
Nightmares now abound.

 

The leaves are changing and its finally getting cold here in North America! Here in English speaking countries, Halloween is celebrated every year without fail and with near universal recognition. However, in Japan, Halloween is a very recent tradition. Trick-or-treating is very rare as the very idea of bothering strangers for candy is absurd in Japanese culture. However, costumes and celebration are becoming more and more common! Having been in Japan during Halloween the most common celebration I saw was bar hopping in full costume, which really is the best way to celebrate it in my opinion.

This time of year though is often a celebration of the moon and of harvest. Anyone who has been around for my first two Halloween events knows a bit about this already. Moon viewing parties and special moon related dishes are prepared and served in festive celebration to welcome the changing of the season. So take some time, get some candy, and look up at the moon with a bountiful harvest tonight!

 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!
