The textile design for September is called "moonlit night".
Ceremonial moon viewing is an ancient Japanese custom and involves arranging a place from which one can view the moon while enjoying traditional delicacies of dango mochi, taro potatoes, and sake. We have made four dango mochi that are resemble traditional moon-viewing dango and are flavored with a distinct anko (sweetened red bean paste) for each individual dango.
