Yanagawa Mari

This is 'Yanagawa Mari', a colorful Japanese sweet shaped like the temari balls used to decorate Yanagawa's traditional 'Sagemon' crafts. In the castle town of Yanagawa, known as a water metropolis, there is a Hinamatsuri culture where colorful 'Sagemon' are hung to celebrate the birth of baby girls. These decorations, consisting of fabric crafts and temari balls linked together, are the crystallization of the love of mothers and grandmothers praying for the healthy growth of children. They are like treasures of the town, even immortalized in the poems of local poet Hakushu Kitahara. Every spring, the entire town is adorned during the 'Sagemon巡り' (Sagemon Tour). With round, adorable colors reminiscent of temari and an elegant, melt-in-your-mouth flavor, please use this sweet to gently experience the gentle Hinamatsuri culture of Yanagawa that heralds the arrival of spring in the water metropolis.
