Moon Viewing at Seattle Japanese Garden
For one enchanting evening a year, the Seattle Japanese Garden is magically lit up with lanterns and luminaries welcoming the arrival of the full moon in Japanese tradition.
This year, guests will have a chance to enjoy the sounds of koto, and bamboo flute accompanied by percussion played live by our talented guest musicians, and a traditional dance performance as the sun goes down. A haiku competition will be held during the evening. Stroll through the garden on a beautiful summer evening full of inspiration for your poetry.
(O-Tsukimi), moon viewing, dates back to 8th century Japan, when on the 8th month of the old Japanese calendar, aristocrats celebrated the beauty of the autumnal full moon with poetry and music. By the 17th century, the tradition spread to farmers and townspeople, incorporating elements of a harvest festival into the admiration of the moon's rays.
Bento boxes will be available for advance purchase at the time of ticket sale.
A limited version of the program will be delivered in case of inclement weather. Ticket refunds are not possible for this event.
