Round Rice Cake

Line 44:

The '''Round Rice Cake''' is an Emblem Heartless that appeared in ''[[Kingdom Hearts χ]]'' during the New Years event in 2014.

==Design==

The Round Rice Cake and its variant, the [[Large ~~Round~~ Rice Cake]], are based on ''{{W|kagami mochi}}'', a Japanese New Year's decoration consisting of two round ''{{W|mochi}}'' or rice cakes. A smaller ''mochi'' would be placed on top of a larger ''mochi'', symbolizing yin and yang, the going and coming years, the human heart, and the moon and the sun. On top of these mochi, a ''{{W|daidai}}'', or Japanese bitter orange, would be placed, to symbolize the continuity of a family from generation to generation. It would be stood on a ''sanpō'', or stand, over a sheet called ''shihōbeni'', which is believed to ward off fires from the house for the years to come.

The Round Rice Cake's body appears to be made of a combination of the aforementioned smaller and larger ''mochi'', and its head appears to be made of ''mochi'' as well. On top of its head is the above-mentioned bitter orange. A black stalk appears to be growing out of that orange. Behind its body is a yellow and grey ''obi'', or sash, tied in a bow.
