Wagashi

 

When I came across this video showing how wagashi is made I nearly cried. The Japanese are such perfectionists! It does not surprise me that the intricate effort that goes into the creation of just one of these works of art comes across in the video as effortless. Which of course could not be further from the truth. There are many types of wagashi as you can see from the article below, but some of them are truly representative of the Japanese culture and their ability to create such beauty.
