お月見 (otsukimi), 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. This year, we are enhancing your night walk experience in our Japanese stroll garden, drawing inspiration from the beautiful tradition of autumn garden illuminations in Japan. Join us for two nights at the Seattle Japanese Garden's Moon Viewing 2025, where the Garden comes alive with the soft glow of lanterns and luminaries.
Night two of Moon Viewing 2025 will feature lighting displays by famed artist Yuri Kinoshita, a hypnotic Butoh performance by Kaoru Okumura and traditional Koto music performed by Mirei Zaborac of Japanese Koto Club. Moon Viewing mainstay Michael Dylan Welch of Haiku Society of America will also return to help guests try their hand at haiku composition and judge our annual Moon Viewing Haiku Contest.
