Lunar calendar, October 16: when I went outside in the evening, a full moon was floating above the trees.
The surroundings were already dim, and the moon floated there, pale and round.
Blown by the cold wind, the moon looked terribly cold.
Blown by the cold wind, how cold the autumn moon is.
Let’s have nabe today.
