one of them, it is called ''Mochi Nage'' or ''Mochi Maki'' that mean rice cake toss(or throw).
When work of putting up the pillar when the timbered house is built ends, a rice cake throw is done.
It is the most important to combine pillars in the timbered house, and many carpenters will finish it up at a dash in 1-2days then in celebration of the serious work ended safely,the carpenter and the owner of a house go up to the roof then toss rice cake and candy etc to people for the appeal to the neighbors '' a splendid house is built'' .
This event of a rice cake toss is being told beforehand to neighbors so 50～100 people show up to there and the rice cake is picked up.
I have not been heard about this rice cake toss in Hiroshima.
There are people who does and doesn't do also in Hamamatsu city.
When we built the house in Hamamatsu, we didn't do it.
I think that the family who lives in Hamamatsu from generation to generation,they do this.
There is a similar custom in Aichi prefecture where nearby Hamamatsu city.
Especially, the parents tend to put up the cash more than the marrying couple to spend money on the performance to show neighbors "was a very gorgeous wedding done"
for instance, the showy track is loaded furnitures to moving to new house, and the clothes are changed many times in the wedding party etc.
Such a custom might look like Hamamatsu near Aichi Prefecture.
We picked up them on this day.↑↑↑
one-small rice cake of about 5cm(about 2 inch) is in the bag.
some people catch directly falling rice cake from roof and other people pick up them which fallen down on the ground.
The rice cake dropped to my face and it was painful !!
This rice cake is what the specialty store made, and everyone really want to get them a lot because it is very delicious.
It is very interesting and it seems be playing a game.
There are white and pink color of rice cake.Such a case means red though it is a pink color
in Japan, it is said that it is good the combination of red and white.
By the way, these rice cakes are the same taste.
These fall together besides the rice cake, too.↑↑↑
This is ''Ohinery'' that coin is wrapped with Japanese paper.
open the paper, a coin of five yen(Goen) is inside.
in Japanese, ''Goen'' means ''destiny'' (chance to have been nice related) and 5yen the same pronunciation ''Goen'' that why 5 yen is often used for happy things.
After the this rice cake toss event, we went to the supermarket,and my 3years old son was pleading ''Taiyaki''（baked sea bream-shaped,red bean paste inside）,it red and white one by chance.
The sea bream is a fish in Japan that brings luck.
Taiyaki is popular sweet for a long time.
We can buy freshly baked it at a street stall and it is delicious when lightly burning with the toaster when eating at home.
