During the Edo period, Takanawa was known as a famous spot for viewing the moon, and on the night of the 26th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, many people gathered to enjoy Nijurokuya-machi a ritual of waiting for the thin crescent moon to rise from the sea.

MoN will reinterpret the moon-waiting culture that once thrived in Takanawa, where people would converse, share food and drink while waiting for the moon.

Art, food, music, and experiential programs themed around the moon will be presented at various locations in MoN Takanawa. In a changing city, we wait for the unchanging moon.

In the program:
Checking the MoN art spaces;
Trying doburoku a pure rice sake made using only Tokyo water, rice, and koji;
Edo Takanawa Tsukimachi Mochitsuki an event where you can experience making mochi using an authentic wooden mortar and pestle, featuring Edo Mochitsukiya a group that operates under the concept of preserving good old traditional culture for future generations.

And more! Lets wait for the Moon together!

Date: September 12th 2pm
MoN Takanawa 4th floor, Tatami
