004/365 Kagami Mochi

Like my first drawing depicted we pounded mochi this year

and got ourselves another tradition.

(Mochi is made into a New Year's decoration called kagami

mochi (鏡餅), formed from two round cakes of mochi with

a tangerine (橙 daidai) placed on top. The name daidai is

supposed to be auspicious since it means "several

 generations.")

Huge thanks again to Barry and his family for including the

 Gritti's in their tradition...great fun.

And thanks to my daughter Kaci for this prompt.

One more day of Happy New year drawings and then on to

the next weeks theme...which you'll have to check back to

find out.
