Explanation
"Full moon at Arakawa River" 荒川の月
川瀬 巴水 - Hasui Kawase (1883-1957) - 1929
blue moon - a full moon that rises twice in one month
sometimes the days of the month are less than the cycle of the moon, which is 29.5 days. This can cause the moon to rise twice in one month, near the first and the last days of the same month. It is said that blue moons happen every 33 months or about every 3 years. This relatively rare occurrence has spawned the saying "once in a blue moon".

A blue moon is the appearance of
the third full moon in a season with four full moons.
The term has also mistakenly been used to refer to the second full moon in a month.
Most years have twelve full moons that occur approximately monthly.
The most literal meaning of blue moon is when the moon (not necessarily a full moon) appears to a casual observer to be unusually bluish, which is a rare event.
The effect can be caused by smoke or dust particles in the atmosphere,...
Using the Maine Farmers' Almanac definition of blue moon
(meaning the third full moon in a season of four full moons), blue moons occur
