Mochitsuki

The music event that my band organized took place yesterday and was very successful.

4 bands including my band joined the event. Interesting thing is that besides music we did "Mochitsuki"
It is the event of pounding sticky rice to make a kind of rice cake, which is traditional new year event in Japan.

People pound the sticky rice stored in a kind of wood bucket with a wood hammer by turns.


The Japanese traditional event was took place in a club with live music and many foregners joins too. For Japanese, it looked really unusual, but all of us enjoyed it a lot.
