A group of Tenri University's international students were invited to participate in a Moon Viewing Festival in Sakurai. Sakurai is a city a few stops away from Tenri within Nara prefecture. We were welcomed to a Temple where we listened to traditional Japanese music such as the Koto, and watched a traditional Japanese dance.
This festival was in honor of the Autumn Equinox which fell on September 23rd of 2013.
The point of the festival is to think of a wish you hope for your future and to write it on the outside of the candles. Then later on hopefully your wish will come true in the new lunar cycle.
