Dondo-yaki


This is a Dondo-yaki. Dondo-yaki is an event burning the New Year ornaments to see off the New Year's god.
With Dondo-yaki, children bake a rice case with a stick. We call it Mayu-dama.
Let's bake Mayu-dama.


It's amazing!


Oops! What's that, Ling? What? Is it funny?


This is a just Kagami-mochi! How big! 
Kagami-mochi is one of the ornaments of the New Year. Typically, the size of Kagami-mochi is about 30cm. We usually cut and eat the Kagami-mochi after decorating.

Then I mistakenly realized Xiang was a ball. Original blog : in Japanese.
