Furthermore, some regions had a custom called moon-waiting, which is why the moon after the seventeenth night is called Tatemachi-zuki (moon-waiting in a standing position), Imachi-zuki (moon-waiting in a sitting position), Nemachi-zuki (moon-waiting in a lying position) and Fukemachi-zuki (moon-waiting late at night). |
更に、地方によっては月待ちという風習があり、十七夜以降を立待月(たてまち-)、居待月(いまち-)、寝待月(ねまち-)、更待月(ふけまち-)、というのはこの名残である。 |
