This is KSU podcast. My name is Yuki and this is Eri.
E: Hi, Yuki. How are you?
Y: Hi, Eri. I’m fine. And you?
E: Me too because it has been nice weather recently.
Y: I agree with you. It is already September.
E: Oh, It is time to watch the moon.
Y: Yeah. What day will it be this year?
E: It’s October 4th. It is called Jugoya. Generally, it is held in August 15th in the lunar calendar.
Y: OK, thank you. By the way, I don’t know about watching the moon in detail.
E: OK, I’ll tell you about it.
Y: That’s nice. I’m not sure about its origin. Do you know?
E: Yes. First, we thank the moon. Ancient people needed light when they harvested crops. Light is from the sun or moon. Second, we thank crops and wish for a good harvest. Third, I think you know.
Y: Well…… Maybe we should enjoy watching the moon.
E: Yes. Do you know what is used?
Y: Of course. We use some dumplings and Japanese silver grass. It is said that we make rice dumplings which look like the moon. And Japanese silver grass is used as decoration to harvest a lot of rice because it is similar to ears of rice.
E: Oh, I see. It seems fun to know. Shall we do it?
Y: Sure. That sounds good. Thank you for listening.
