Japan: New Year and Maiko

Maiko cutting mochi at New Year celebrations in Gion, Kyoto.
Mochi is a Japanese rice cake made of glutinous rice pounded into paste and molded into shape. It's a traditional food for the Japanese New year.
Love the kimono, obi and the hair-ornaments the girls are wearing. :)
