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.) |
(→Design: Okay, that's as many WP links as I can find. Expansion would still be greatly helpful.) |

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, and below these, a white shihōbeni with a red border. It is stood on a brown wooden sanpō .
