March 3rd is Hinamatsuri, or “Doll’s Day” in Japan. In this episode, SHINJI introduces the history of Hishi-Mochi, explaining the meaning behind its shape, colors, and ingredients, and the 7 plants that represent the arrival of spring. * * * This video is the English version of one part of SHINJI’s 12-part series that was previously featured on Amazing Radio Performers on the WEB, their weekly radio program that airs every Saturday. SHINJI is the son of famous musicians, and his grandmother is a tea ceremony instructor. He was top of his class at the prestigious artist training institution ISM (International School of Music). Diligent at everything he attempts, he is the de facto “leader” of the AR performers. In this series, the 4 ARP music school high school boys (?) talk about traditional Japanese sweets (or “wagashi”), explaining how they play a role even in the daily life of Japan today. They sometimes go way off topic, but we hope you enjoy their conversations.
