We thanks all nature and all harvest. The sun is most strong but the moon also a little strong. The moon power also great for the nature. The activation of insect, the tide, for the Women, many things are influenced on.

The moon power brings us the harvest. We are able to eat many delicious foods. We thanks the moon and the nature from our heart. We decorate with silver grasses and offer dango sweets to the moon.
