It's January 11, which means it's time for kagami biraki!
To conclude the Japanese New Year celebrations, kagami biraki, literally meaning "opening the mirror" or breaking of the mochi, is typically held on January 11. The term "kagami" translates to "mirror," and "biraki" means "opening" or "to break." The ceremony involves removing the round-shaped mochi from the family altar and breaking them into smaller pieces before cooking them in dessert or soup to enjoy. Eating the mochi symbolizes a prayer for health and good fortune in the New Year.
To break open the ornamental mochi, one should never cut it with a knife. The action is a reminder of ritual disembowelment from ancient times, and it is considered a sign of bad luck. For that reason, the customary way to break the mochi is with a wooden hammer or with one’s hands. These days, it's very common for people to buy a plastic decorative kagami mochi at a store, which the small mochi pieces are inside.
Kiku has prepared the mochi for the ceremonial opening - she even found a large wooden hammer like in ancient times. :D

After the mochi is broken open, it's customary to cook the smaller pieces in dessert or soup. A common dish is zenzai, which is red bean soup with mochi. That's what Kiku went for this year!

I finally found the time to take some snaps of my STO Blythe ( Big Laugh ). I still haven’t figured out what to name her.
I purchased this cute kitchen set back when I was in Hong Kong and I spruced it up with some masking tape to bring out some color!
The set of food she is holding is from a rare Miniature series from Orcara from Hong Kong, I don’t even think the company exists anymore.

Cute little 14cm Elfdoll tiny legit bjds for sale/trade -- Make me an offer!
They’re cute; they’re out of print; and they need to get out of my house. Are you a bjd noob or 1:12 scale geek who wants some Elfdoll 14cm tinies? Do you have 1:6 scale stuff you’re getting rid of? Let’s make a deal! Message me.
Description:
1. Yellowed 14cm Elfdoll body from a first-issue Elfdoll 14cm Winky [doll body on left minus blacked-out head]. Original stringing, so kinda floppy. Arms and legs wired for poseability. Purchased secondhand in 2011.
2. 14cm Elfdoll tiny Dodo [second issue] with stock faceup and glued-on wig [middle doll in photo]. No clothes, box, extra parts, or COA. Limbs wired for poseability. Purchased secondhand in 2015.
3. 14cm Elfdoll tiny Kai [second issue] with stock faceup and eyes [last doll on right]. Fist hands and heel feet. Limbs wired for poseability. Purchased secondhand in 2015.
Payment:
Make me an offer [at least $100 for the full dolls, please]! Bjd noobs welcome, since I mostly want them to go to a home where they will be enjoyed.
Ships from Burlington, VT, USA.
Trade:
Trades will be heavily in your favor. You just gotta send your stuff first.
May be interested in some of the rarer Elfdoll 14cm tiny heads, like Lyn, Syfl, Bong Sun Hwa, etc. Also looking for some Obitsu Paraboccle or Azone Picco Neemo bodies. I am really into 1:6 scale dolls [Obitsus, Mattel Barbie Made to Move] and action figures [Hot Toys, Big Chief Studios]. If you have high quality accessories or set pieces [i.e., NOT pink plastic], give me a shout. Always looking for the following: Re-ment/Orcara/Megahouse [no Disney or other branded items] Kitchen appliances Bookshelves Mini articulated figures, teddy bears, and other toys Stuff for a lab of dubious science, including robots, tools, electronics, control panels, clockwork, strange specimens, etc. Stuff for picnics/camping, especially folding chairs and a sleeping bag Clothes for smaller 1:6 scale dolls such as Obitsu21/23/26, Pure Neemo, Blythe, Skipper, Creatable World
100% positive Ebay feedback here: https://www.ebay.com/fdbk/feedback_profile/modernwizard
100% positive feedback on the DOA marketplace too.

Ever since I played Tamagotchi Corner Shop as a kid, I’ve always wanted to try eating takoyaki…. but we don’t have any around here. ;v; So making clay minis is the next best thing right? not really
(I only made all the takoyaki related pieces, everything else is Re-ment and Orcara stuff)
Higher Quality pics here
