Injecting some cute into the day courtesy of Kanaya-Masahiro's (金谷正廣) curled up monaka cat🥹

The sweet is called 'bungaku-monaka' (文学もなか), and was born from Kanaya Masahiro's frustration at not being able to have a pet cat growing up in a sweet shop.

I would not put it past them. The disappointment of the spider who spun a line across my entire windshield before noticing the lack of food must have been severe.

I had one across my windhield and another attached to the passenger head rest. I think they come in through the vents which never fully close. ...assuming they aren't hitching a ride on packages and groceries.

The girl would peer at the moon through the hole in the sweet, and while her attention was diverted the long sleeves of her (childhood) kimono would be cut.
This act of slicing short the kimono sleeves symbolised the transition from girl to women👘✂️
This was mostly a palace ritual.

Tsukimi manju, a sweet created by Itotatsu for moon-viewing.

A hole is made in the tsukimi manju using a bush clover twig.

Under the full moon Nao-san takes the tsukimi manju and holds it up.

Through the hole in the sweet she views the full moon (this was an old tradition...as young girls of court did this the long sleeves of their childhood kimonos were cut).
