Similar to wreaths used in America, they have their own meaning and background as well. From ancient times wreaths represented the circle of eternal life and was associated with gods.

In Japan it is believed that gods dwell on tree tops and some rely their spirit into objects. Kadomatsu has been welcoming the Toshigami into Japanese houses since the Heian period.

There are different types of Kadomatsu in different regions of Japan, but the most common elements are pine and bamboo. ]]> 2022-02-09 20:30:06 UTC https://padlet.com/rmurphy87/51my4pzcdc155fhf/wish/2038847047 Mochibana https://padlet.com/rmurphy87/51my4pzcdc155fhf/wish/2038858950 Mochibana, or mochi flower, is a popular new years decoration. it is made of willow branches and small rolled up pieces of pink and white dango or rice cake. this decoration symbolizes the coming of spring in japan.

They're often wrapped in a decorated bag with the word "shou" (賞) on it, meaning prize or reward.

The center of these special chopsticks are thick while the sides are thin. They're usually made from willow trees and are exactly 24 cm/8 inches long. The character 8, or hachi, is considered wide and auspicious which explains the specific measurement.

Coming with very special etiquette, you're not supposed to dispose of the chopsticks at home. You reuse the same celebration chopsticks every year and to "have it taken with you when you return to heaven". ]]> 2022-02-09 21:04:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rmurphy87/51my4pzcdc155fhf/wish/2038900814 Comparable to anything in American culture? https://padlet.com/rmurphy87/51my4pzcdc155fhf/wish/2038996658 Well, we couldn't find anything quite like this in American culture.
