Camellia Tea Ceremony🐗YOUNG BOAR FESTIVAL🌾
The first sweet to be enjoyed with the opened hearth is 'inoko-mochi' (亥の子餅), a simple rice cake made with new grains, and often imitating a boar.
In the lunar calendar people enjoyed inoko-mochi on the hour, day and month of the boar (now November).
The 'young boar festival', known as 'inoko' (亥の子) or 'gencho' (玄猪), was held on the day of the boar in the 10th month (lunar calendar), the beginning of winter.
