Hina-matsuri is Girl’s Day in Japan, and is celebrated on March 3rd.
In this MOC, a family gathers to celebrate the day with the pounding of mochi
(rice cakes) in the traditional style - hammering it inside a large stone bowl.
For those who have never seen this before, one person wets their hands and
reaches into the bowl between hammer blows to fold the mochi over - timing is
crucial! Everyone else helps to roll the mochi into smaller pieces.
A hina-ningyo doll is on display inside the house. Don’t forget to enjoy the
cherry blossoms!
