On our way back to Osaka, when passing through this market to take the train back, we saw this!

Pounding Mochi

repositioning the mochi

This is a very traditional Japanese tradition that they do as part of New Year’s Celebration. This requires 2 people. One  person pounds the mochi with a giant wooden hammer and the other one wets and repositions the mochi between each stroke.
