isshoomochi 　一升餅・一生餅（いっしょうもち）
mochi for the first birthday of a baby

fumimochi 踏み餅 "stand with both feet on the earth" mochi
The round mochi weights isshoo (一升, ca. 1,8 kg) and is put into a rucksack for the baby to carry. If it does so without crying, it will have rice to eat for his whole life (isshoo 一生).
The round mochi also represents the sun and the sun deity Amaterasu.
They are also sometimes used for other important birthdays, especially when people get older, with the wish for a long life.
I once was present of the birthday party of a little boy who carried it with great joy.
