In the past, Japanese people didn't have the habit of celebrating birthdays. Only 1' s birthday should be celebrated solemnly to celebrate the healthy growth of children in the past year and wish them safe and healthy growth in the future.
Generally, Japanese people eat rice cakes on their birthdays, also called "birthday cakes", so that children can carry them on their backs. If children can walk on their backs, it means that they are strong, while adults think that children can walk on their backs well. When I grow up, I will leave my parents and stay away from my hometown, so I make the rice cake big and heavy, deliberately making them unable to carry it.
