J-WAVE special program "BEYOND THE MOON" public recording
On the night of September 12th SAT., coinciding with Japan's national holiday "Space Day" and the new moon, J-WAVE will record a special program at MoN Takanawa. The talk event will explore the feelings people have had towards the moon since ancient times, focusing on the moon-viewing culture that was popular in Takanawa during the Edo period, introducing moon-viewing, the waiting period for the 26th night, the way the moon appears, and its relationship to the calendar. The program will be recorded live at MoN Takanawa, weaving together history, astronomy, and culture, connecting Takanawa's historical landscape with the modern moon-viewing experience. In addition to invitations for J-WAVE members, general admission tickets will be distributed from 10:00 AM on the day of the event at the 2nd floor entrance.
