On Dec. 31 Hakozakigu Shrine is holding a mochitsuki event. The mochi (rice cakes) at this festival are in the shape of namako (sea cucumbers). The namako mochi are traditional and were first made after a fisherman from Hakozaki, due to lack of time, brought a sea cucumber instead of a rice cake to the birth celebrations of Emperior Ojin one New Year\u2019s Eve. Ever since, fishermen from Hakozaki assemble at Hakozakigu every New Year to pound mochi flour together.<\/p>\n
