Japan Almanac: September in Japan

japanalmanac.com Observed source
Editorial interest 87/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A month-by-month guide to Japan's seasons, festivals, symbols, food, events, and Hanafuda.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-02 issue.

Field notes

The project uses Hanafuda's 12 plant suits as an organizing framework: each month gets a seasonal page, four-card explanation, related stories, and event references. The September entry connects chrysanthemum cards to Choyo no Sekku, moon-viewing, public holidays, and the sake-cup card used in Koi-Koi combinations. Its events index states that it covers 60 listings, while the month pages indicate that source work is still continuing across the full calendar.
