Therefore, we eat them on that day. I will post a picture of Kashiwa mochi (柏餅） later.
The kanji of 柏.....my literal translation is, a white tree.I don't think that oak trees are white. ???......

(柏の木)kashiwa no ki or the oak trees
Last Saturday evening I went to my friend's house to have a BBQ party. It was cloudy and chilly, but we enjoyed it. I found these oak trees next to their back yard. We eat "Kashiwa mochi", or oak leaves wrapped Japanese sweet dumplings on Children's Day, or Boys Day. It is held on May 5th. Oak trees or leaves are simboliｚed for prolification, like Easter eggｓ.
Therefore, we eat them on that day. I will post a picture of Kashiwa mochi (柏餅） later.
