Nowadays, the Japanese are no longer using the lunar calendar, but the Mid-autumn Festival is still held in a roaring and called the Moon Festival (Otsukimi). On the Otsukimi day, the Japanese usually presents the triangular-shaped Tsukimi Dango on a wooden shelf, alongside the Susuki vase then placing the top of the wheel wherever it is possible to see the moon at its best, to just eat the cake, just watching the moon, while the children are given their parents a personal lantern to participate in the lamp procession. The carp lantern in Japan symbolizes courage, especially for boys.

The dumplings are made from rice flour, soft round cakes, with savory, sweet and savoury sauce, often skewered in a bamboo rod and served with green tea. The legend of Mid-Autumn Festival in Japan has only appeared as a Jade Bunny image in behalf of the image of Sister hang, the Pebble and the Cute pearl Rabbit in Vietnam and most other Asian countries.
