waldo pottery on Instagram: "making these kagami mochi each year has become a clay ritual that starts in october. though maybe next year I should start even earlier.

I’m so excited that this year’s batch was sent around the globe: to Japan, Hawaii, and the UK. Some are also staying local to LA, adopted by dear family friends. So grateful!

I was considering a pre-order next year. They are very labor intensive to make, so it’d be ideal to know how many to go for. But pre-orders are also intimidating because so much can go wrong in the process (this year no exception!) I welcome any opinions!

And a major shoutout to @judithgigliotti, these wouldn’t have been finished without your help 🍊🧡

Kagami mochi 「鏡餅」 is a special traditional Japanese decoration for the New Year, usually displayed inside the house in the kamidana, for Toshigami, the god of the new year, to bring good luck and prosperity in the new year.  Kagami mochi is made from two rice cakes (mochi) of different sizes, the smaller placed over the larger one, and a daidai, a Japanese type of bitter orange placed on top. In some versions, the mochi are placed on a konbu sheet, a symbol of pleasure and joy.

JAPAN HOUSE Los Angeles on Instagram: "Kagami biraki is a ceremony that marks significant events or transitions to new stages in life. To conclude the Japanese New Year celebrations, kagami biraki, which translates to ‘opening the mirror’ or breaking of the mochi, is held on January 11th. 

During the New Year, kagami mochi, a pair of decorated rice cakes, are offered to the deity of the New Year. Since offerings were traditionally not allowed to touched by a blade, the hardened mochi was broken by hand or wooden hammer.

Celebrate 2024 by breaking and eating kagami mochi, which symbolizes a prayer for health and good fortune in this New Year! ✨
