Okinawa residents pour freshly steamed rice into a mortar to make soft rice cakes, known as mochi Jan. 8 at Shioya Sub-village Hall in Uruma City, Okinawa, Japan. A mortar is a traditional device used to prepare ingredients or substances by crushing and grinding them into a fine paste or powder. Mochi is a treat made of steamed rice pounded down into a paste, which is hand-rolled with brown sugar. These cultural exchanges help service members and Okinawa residents alike strengthen the bond between them through mutual understanding. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Pfc. Danielle R. Prentice)
