Celebrating Seasonal Traditions: The Stylish Surprise of "Glass Kagami Mochi"!
2019.12.27 published
What is the Meaning of "Kagamimochi" During New Year's?
During New Year's, we decorate our homes with "kagamimochi."
Do you know what kagamimochi signifies?
The decorations for New Year's, including "kadomatsu," "shime-nawa," and "kagamimochi," are all meant to welcome the Toshigami-sama (the deity of the new year).
☑ Kadomatsu serves as a marker for welcoming the deity.
☑ Shime-nawa signifies that the area is suitable for receiving the deity.
☑ Kagamimochi is a resting place for the deity.
It is said that on the day of "kagamibiki," after the period of Matsunouchi ends, we consume the mochi that has the deity's spirit, receiving the luck and power of the Toshigami-sama, praying for a year free of illness and disaster.
Recently, it seems there are "Glass Kagamimochi"!
That said, in today's world, decorating with kadomatsu and shime-nawa during New Year's is becoming less common. (Many places prohibit placing items in front of apartments.)
You may still decorate at your family home, but many people might not be decorating in their new homes shared with their partners.
However, for those who think, "But I want to display something (even just a decorative item)!" I have a recommended item!
