Experience the rich traditions of Japanese New Year with two engaging activities in our Japanese Garden. Begin with a demonstration of Mochi Tsuki, the age-old practice of pounding glutinous rice to create mochi, a staple of New Year celebrations in Japan. Witness the artistry and cultural significance of this beloved tradition.

Then, get hands-on with Mochi Bana Creation, where you’ll shape and decorate mochi into vibrant arrangements inspired by ikebana. These beautiful and symbolic creations are a perfect way to capture the spirit of the season.

Join us for a day of cultural discovery and creativity, celebrating the timeless traditions of mochi in a stunning garden setting.
