Japanese seasonal moment

Tsukimi night

A full moon, dango, and a tradition to discover.

Discover Tsukimi
On a wooden veranda under a full moon, a round cream-colored character and a round peach-pink character with a green strawberry stem on its head eat tsukimi dango, with pampas grass and a stand of stacked dumplings beside them and a white rabbit in sunglasses peering over the moon. Japanese text reads "もぐもぐ" (mogumogu).

On the sunlit stone path in front of Zojoji Temple, a round cream-colored character turns with a delighted open-mouthed smile toward a round peach-pink character with a green strawberry stem on its head, seen from behind and glancing back at it half-lidded.

What happens when they get closer?

The train is packed. Daifuku keeps holding it in...

City lights spread below Omochi, shining across the night...

A round peach-pink character with a green strawberry stem on its head freezes in front of an open fridge at night, a small jar of food in its paw and a spoon in its mouth, as a round cream-colored character opens the door across the room. Japanese text reads "ガチャッ" (gacha) at the door and "ドキッ" (doki).Midnight kitchen

One small sound changes the whole room.

A round cream-colored character sits in meditation on a purple cushion in a temple hall before a large bronze Buddha, while a white rabbit in black monk robes and sunglasses stands beside it holding a wooden stick. Japanese text reads "しーん" (shiin).Temple quiet

The temple hall is still. Omochi stops without making a sound...

Some moments feel almost too quiet.

A round cream-colored character jumps and drops its chalk in an empty classroom, a chalk drawing of a rabbit in sunglasses on the blackboard behind it, as a round peach-pink character with a green strawberry stem on its head bangs on the window. Japanese text reads "ドキッ" (doki) and "バンッ" (ban).Emotion

ドキッ

Used when you are caught off guard and your heart skips a beat: a sudden noise behind you, an unexpected kindness from someone you like, or a remark that hits a nerve. "Dokidoki" is a heart that keeps pounding; "doki" is a single thump, and it is already over.

Outside a warmly lit ramen shop at night, a round cream-colored character and a round peach-pink character with a green strawberry stem on its head drool at the window display, a steaming bowl of ramen in a thought bubble above them, under red noren curtains and a paper lantern.
