   🌰THE CHESTNUT MOON🎑

   Chestnuts are typically a symbol of October's moon (lunar calendar=13th day/9th month), often referred to as 'kurimeigetsu' (栗名月 the 'chestnut harvest moon').

   As we can't wait for the next full moon, we're enjoying some chestnut delights for the equinox.

     A commonly named sweet available around this time is 'yamazuto' (山づと), which can be translated as 'gift from the mountains'.
     It refers to the bounty of chestnuts now appearing in shops.

     Kagizen's (鍵善良房) 'yamazuto' mimics a chestnut emerging from its burr🌰😋
