Edit3: The next 2 Solar eclipses visible from Japan will be in 2030 (Annular Solar Eclipse, best visible from Hokkaido) and 2035 (Total Solar Eclipse, mainly visible in Northern Kanto area). The 2035 will be a hoot, check out how it will look from Tokyo here:

So, I heard we’re not supposed to directly look into an eclipse for fear that we could transform into ~~great apes~~ blind people.
I will capture this moment with my DSLR in order to prevent my devolution.
Does anybody want to propose on an eclipse? Is there a folk tale about conceiving a powerful child on an eclipse?
It seems to be a Lunar eclipse and not a Solar one, unless I’m lookin at it wrong.

it is indeed a Lunar eclipse.
Edit2: It’s still a very cool total lunar eclipse! You can see how it would look from your location here:
