      aka 散餅銭の儀, and historically may also have included 
throwing of coins as well as mochi

the ceremony itself has both Shinto and Buddhist 
variants; perhaps "dedication ceremony" or "topping out" 
might be nice to include along with the less evocative 
"framework raising ceremony" already present?
