A chimaki served in the tea room for Children's Day.

A boy samurai doll on display for Children's Day.

Bamboo leaves are used to wrap and bind the sticky rice cake that makes up chimaki.

Opening a chimaki to eat.

Chimaki (ちまき) is also the name of a sweet traditionally eaten on "Children's Day" (May 5th) for good health.

Steamed rice dumplings are tightly wrapped in a sheath of bamboo leaves, their finished shape much like the prongs of a chimaki amulet.

A view looking down a curving lane in an unidentified Japanese town on a bright spring day. On either side of the lane, the plaster walls of the houses looks like they would benefit from some repair. At the other end of the lane, a pair of kids are busy with something unseen; above them, a red carp kite flutters in in the breeze. Overhead, the bright blue sky is populated by a few puffy white clouds.

Title: Koinobori (1948)

Desde 1948, Japón consagra el 5 de mayo a los niños #こどもの日 #KodomoNoHi. Y comparto este trabajo sobre #anime #アニメ y la educación sentimental de los españoles de mi generación, en la esperanza de que logremos recuperar esa bendita alegría infantil.

Les élèves ont célébré le #KodomoNoHi en fabriquant des kabuto en papier journal. Un moment ludique et culturel inspiré par la tradition japonaise. Merci à Mme Dubuis pour cette belle initiative.

Two long pieces of rock forming an arch, steps going onto a bridge, lots of green trees

beautiful green, me holding up a leaf wrapped piece of sweet sticky rice

I walked through this nature portal and I ate some of my favorite mochi, chimaki - 2nd photo.

Sorry I ate it so quickly (nary a photo of the real mochi!), but isn't it wrapped nicely in bamboo leaf?

It was Children's Day in Japan today (technically it's on may 5th!) -- carp flags are a common motif seen during the month of May for this reason! We put up our weather proof koi flags which neighborhood kitty seemed to appreciate :) scroll to view.
