Round Rice Cake: Difference between revisions
This ALSO needs Wikipedia links and expansion because I do not know what that bow thing is meant to be. Calling it an obi would be simplistic at best.

The Round Rice Cake and its variant, the [[Large Round Rice Cake]], are based on ''kagami mochi'', a Japanese New Year's decoration consisting of two round ''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 ''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. | |||
At the bottom of the Round Rice Cake's body are two green leaves<!--What ARE they?-->, and below these, a white ''shihōbeni'' with a red border. It is stood on a brown wooden ''sanpō ''. | |||
