Kagamimochi
Kagamimochi is a traditional Japanese decoration made of two round rice cakes, or mochi, stacked on top of each other. The bottom cake is usually larger, while the top one is smaller. It is often adorned with a daidai fruit, which symbolizes prosperity and longevity, and sometimes includes decorative elements like pine leaves. Kagamimochi is typically displayed during the New Year celebrations in Japan.
This decoration holds cultural significance, representing the hope for a good harvest and family unity in the coming year. After the New Year festivities, Kagamimochi is often consumed in a ritual called Kagamimochi-kai, where the rice cakes are broken and eaten, symbolizing the sharing of blessings and good fortune.
