🎏 Happy Children's Day from Japan!
May 5th is Kodomo no Hi, a Japanese holiday that celebrates children's growth and happiness.
Families often display samurai helmets and enjoy Kashiwa Mochi—sticky rice cakes wrapped in oak leaves. These leaves symbolize strength and prosperity, as they do not fall until new buds grow.
This character, Kashiwa Mochinoko, is inspired by Kashiwa Mochi and Tsuchinoko, a legendary snake-like creature from Japanese folklore.
The name is a playful blend of "Mochi" and "Tsuchinoko"—together with "Kashiwa," it becomes Kashiwa Mochinoko!
A sweet blend of culture, cuteness, and imagination! 🐍🍡
