As we transit from the summer to the autumn...
I have finally completed my book, which is now in the hands of my publisher and had some space to reflect and redirect my creativity from writing to art.
September is the month we transit from the summer to the autumn. In Japan, we await for the September full moon to have our ritual of TSUKIMI, moon viewing, to express our appreciation for the autumn harvest. I have always associated September with the moon since I was a little girl. I was sad to say goodbye to the summer filled with joy, but always comforted by the gentle September moon......smiling like the Mona Lisa in the sky, telling me everything will be ok.....
TSUKI
Moon in peace
Moonlight embraces me gently,
Transform my tears into the golden light,
Gently, like the touch of a feather.
-Azumi Uchitani
