An angel from the moon/ Rika Megumi

Shizuoka is a place, where an angel is coming down from the moon. In Japan, we believe that angels are dancing on the moon. 15 of them are wearing white dress and the other 15 are wearing black. On the first day, All 15 angels with white dress are dancing on the moon. It was the full moon. Day by day, one black angel is out from the stage and a black angel is replacing. So, on 15 days all black angels are dancing. The moon gradually changes its shape every 30 days. This is a Japanese version of explaining how the moon change its shape. This story is also explained in Japanese traditional opera, which is called "Noh opera Hagoromo(It means a dress of the angel)".
