Otsukimi is an annual Japanese celebration. The celebration celebrates the autumn moon on the 15th day of the 8th month. The annual Otsukimi celebration in Dallas took place at Klyde Warren Park and was sponsored by the Crow Collection of Asian Art and the Japan America Society of DFW. The celebration was a wonderful way for Dallas residents to learn about this unique Japanese holiday and Japanese culture. Those in attendance were able to enjoy Japanese food, learning about Japanese arts & crafts, and live performances.
