Tsukimi (月見), also known as "moon viewing," is a Japanese festival that celebrates the beauty of the full moon in autumn. It typically occurs in mid-late September or early October. Tsukimi dango are traditionally placed on a decorative stand as part of the moon-viewing ceremony. They are arranged in a pyramid or circular shape to honor the moon and express gratitude for a good harvest. The round shape of the dango symbolizes completeness and unity.
