Who nibbled the sweet Kashiwa mochi?
This is a novelty Kashiwa mochi kokeshi doll, by Teruyuki HIRAGA (1972-) who is a Sakunami style kokeshi craftsman.
Kashiwa mochi is a Japanese sweet, which is filled with sweet red beans or miso-Anko and wrapped with an oak leaf.
It is said that the oak leaves won’t fall until the new leaves sprout. It was connected with continuing the family line. Because of that, Kashiwa mochi became a fortunate sweet on the Kodomo no hi, which is the day to celebrate and pray for the health and growth of children.
