Dondoyaki Party 2008-01-21

Just another look at the Dondoyaki in the farming community near our place. The community gathered to burn all their New Year's decorations, plus all the good luck charms they bought the previous year. Then they roasted mochi on sticks over the coals. Despite the spiritual-superstitious, it had a lot in common with a block party or campfire (where I come from).
