During the Heian period (794–1185), aristocrats would gather together in the evenings to admire the moon, recite poetry, and play instruments. They would admire the reflection of the moon on the surface of ponds or on the surface of their cups of rice wine. The elegance of these aristocratic traditions are evident in the Kokinshu poetry anthology.
