Mochitsuki is pounding rice to make it into mochi. It’s a traditional Japanese thing to do in the new year season. My friend invited me to join her family for this event on new year’s eve. I’m happy that they include me in these events.
After pounding the rice, it has to be rolled out to “rest”.

Pamela: This is so interesting and doing it the old-fashioned way not using a machine is wonderful.
I just read about the oldest Lady passing in Japan, so sad but how wonderful to live that long.

It's a wonderful tradition. I'm so glad you were invited to take part. Forty years ago, my family made mochi twice a year - for the local festival and for the new year. These days, no one is strong enough to do all the work, unfortunately.
Interesting day for you and lovely to be included.
This is wonderful. And I'm delighted you are so included in the traditions of your adopted country with dear friends.
What a fun thing to be included in!
