The Isshomochi celebration is a traditional event held together with the celebration of a child's first birthday to pray for their healthy growth in the future.
◆ Stepping on rice cakes ◆
The Isshomochi is compared to the earth, and children are made to stand on the Isshomochi by putting on straw sandals and wishing that they will be able to walk with their feet firmly planted on the earth. Some families perform both ``Mochi Uri'' and ``Mochi Stomping''.
