The fall season ushers in a time of reflection and gratitude in many parts of the world, such as the traditional autumn moon viewing in Japan (known as “Tsukimi”), which represents a moment to express gratefulness for the harvest, contemplate nature’s beauty, and pray for future prosperity. In the United States, Thanksgiving is similarly a holiday to celebrate the blessings received during the year, although it is also a National Day of Mourning for Native Americans, who associate the holiday’s origins with the trials and tribulations of European settlement.
