The moon is beautiful

Hello.

I know this is sudden, but do you know this expression meaning of “The moon is beautiful.”?

As you know, everyone use this sentence when some people are looking at the beautiful moon like super moon last week.

However, there is another meaning in this sentence．

This sentence is the substitution for saying “I love you.”

This interpretation was made by Soseki Natsume.

Soseki said that Japanese won't say “I love you” directly because they are shy.

If you say “the moon is beautiful”, woman will understand you want to say “I love you”, and this is Japanese spirit. Soseki said.

I think this is beautiful way to express the feeling. It is so cool.

If you are said “The moon is beautiful”, you should reply “I am ready to die.”

This sentence was introduced in Japanese TV drama called Date.

In this drama, my favorite actor Hiroki Hasegawa appeared! I will write about him someday!
