Doll Festival

Doll Festival is one of the national holidays in Japan. We call it, "Hina-Matsuri" in Japanese.
It is celebrated on March 3 every year. On that day, we pray for healthy growth and happiness for girls in family. Most families which have girls display Hina-Dolls called Hina-Ningyo.

This is the picture of Hina-Dolls.
The dolls show the imperial court.























Today, we have special foods to cerebrate the day.
This is Chirashi-Shushi.


















And these are  Hishi-mochi and Hina-Arare.
