After the Harvest Moon, the Chestnut Moon: What the Old Taboo of Viewing Only One Moon Teaches About a D-Color Diamond and Japan's Finest 18K Amulet

The morning after a great success, there is often a curious quiet. The toast has been raised, the congratulations received, and then the room empties. Japan has a moon for exactly that hour.

Jūsan'ya, the Chestnut Moon: Why Japan Avoids "Viewing Only One Moon"

Jūsan'ya is the moon of the thirteenth night of the ninth lunar month, the "later moon" that follows the famous mid-autumn full moon. It is also called the Chestnut Moon or Bean Moon, because the harvest of the season is offered to it in thanks. In 2026 it arrives around October 23.

An old belief holds that admiring only one of the two moons, a custom called katamizuki, brings bad luck. In other words, a luminous night should be answered by a quiet one. A person of true aesthetic discernment does not end a story at its brightest point.
