All the traditional Japanese sweets replicate the development of an early embryo from the first cleavage. Each confectionery expresses, from the back, a fertilized egg undergoing the first cleavage (made from “konashi” or kneaded sweet bean paste, coated with “kudzu” starch), a 2-cell-stage embryo (“aoume” or a green plum), an 8-cell-stage embryo (modified from “kiku” or chrysanthemum), a morula (“domyoji” or a sweet pink mochi), and a tailbud (modified from “magatama” or a claw-shaped bead). 　So, which one would you like to start with? Confectionery Coordination: Gion Narumiya, Kyoto, Japan.
