After gobbling up the chimaki, there's a certain way to fold up the leaves and twine (to make it easier for the host to clear away).

Symbolising determination, the carp motif was based on the Chinese legend of a carp that swam upstream to become a dragon.
The black carp nowadays represents the father, red the mother, and blue the children (originally the eldest son was blue, each new son a different colour).

Kashiwa mochi (かしわ餅/柏餅) are typically eaten for 'Kodomo-no-hi' (こどもの日) on May 5th.
The simple sweet takes its name from the oak leaf (柏 'kashiwa') used to wrap the (typically) anko-filled mochi.
🍃😋🍴❌
Unlike sakura-mochi, the leaf should not be eaten.
It's always great fun digging out the chubby (unamused) baby warrior and his tiny treasures for Kodomo-no-hi (こどもの日)🎏

Iris leaves, thanks to their shape, have long been associated with swords...both protecting against & cutting through misfortune.
The word for iris, 'shōbu' (菖蒲), is also a homonym for 'warlike spirit' (尚武), and from Kamakura times the flowers came to symbolise the warrior.

🎏CHILDREN'S DAY👶
Arriving at the end of Golden Week, 'Kodomo-no-hi' (こどもの日 "Children's Day") celebrates the happiness of children and families.
In the weeks leading up to May 5th many homes display dolls and armor (or helmets), symbolizing vitality and strength.
#こどもの日 #ChildrensDay
There are two sweets, both wrapped in leaves, that are absolutely essential for "Children's Day": kashiwa mochi (かしわ餅/柏餅) and chimaki (ちまき/粽).

In response the prince handed him a branch of yamabuki and bid him farewell.
The next day the stranger returned and asked why he had been given the flowering branch🫤
Kaneakira explained that just as the kerria rose (blooming in his garden) had no fruit, so he had no raincoats...
