Otsukimi, the 9th Annual Japanese Moon Viewing festival will take place September 24, in partnership with the Consulate General of Japan and Japan American Society of Tennessee. This year’s program features two live dance performances, a kimono fashion show, the return of mochi pounding, tea ceremonies, kamishibai, Japanese storytelling through paper cards, and much more. Especially intriguing this year is the opportunity to see the Blevins Japanese Garden lit up with Bruce Munro’s Whizz Pops as the moon and other celestial bodies shine from above.
