Why do we decorate with Kagami Mochi (rice cakes) during the New Year?
Kagami mochi are offerings made to the "Toshigami-sama" (New Year's deity) who visits during the New Year.
Stacking two rice cakes of different sizes is considered auspicious because it symbolizes the accumulation of good fortune (happiness and wealth), and it is also said to represent the wish for a harmonious and peaceful year.
Because it's ceramic, it can be used repeatedly.
Made of ceramic, it won't deteriorate like a real Kagami Mochi (rice cake offering) and can be reused, making it sustainable. It's easy to display and put away. Its palm-sized design means it can be displayed in small spaces like the entryway or living room.
Comes with a vibrant, glossy ceramic orange. It's removable, so you can customize it to your liking for your New Year's decorations.
A warm and simple design
The simple design boasts the smooth texture and substantial feel unique to ceramics, blending seamlessly into any interior, whether Japanese or Western. It is crafted to harmonize with modern lifestyles while respecting Japanese tradition.
The included base is made from domestically produced cedar wood, and the Shihobeni (a type of decorative paper) uses Hadakichi paper, which is said to have a paper quality as beautiful as a woman's bare skin. The materials, chosen with attention to detail, create an even more refined New Year's atmosphere.
The color of the glaze can easily change due to various factors such as kiln temperature and humidity, and the resulting color can vary considerably. We hope you will enjoy this as part of the charm of handmade items.
It can also be used as a small storage container.
The inside of the Kagami Mochi is hollow, so it can be used as a small container for trinkets or sweets.
The bottom section has grooves, making it stable and less likely to shift when stacked in two layers.
Comes with a golden, shining good luck charm card.
This golden, shimmering "good luck charm" card is recommended for anyone hoping for good fortune or increased wealth.
The surface features a picture of a horse along with the characters "馬九行久" (Uma Kyūgō Kyū).
"Uma 9 ying jiu" (馬九行久) symbolizes success and good fortune.
The name is a phonetic transcription based on the image of "Kutōma," which depicts nine horses galloping at full speed.
"Uma kyu yuki ku" (馬九行久) is an auspicious phrase that expresses the wish that "everything will go well."
The nine-horse design is said to bring good fortune in competitions, finances, career advancement, family harmony, love, health, business prosperity, abundant harvests, and success in exams.
It is also said to represent the "nine types of luck."
