One of the traditional Japanese ceremonies for celebrating babies around 100-day-old is “first meal."
Elders pretend to have their baby eat rice, soup, boiled food, and grilled fish. And we hope that the baby won't have trouble with food for a lifetime.
The interesting thing is that an elder touches a small stone taken from the ground of a shrine with chopsticks, and then touch the chopsticks to the baby's gums. Because we hope to strengthen the baby teeth.
This stone is called "the stone that hardens teeth".
