It is the event which is held for girls in March 3 every year.
We call it Hinamatsuri. Hina means dolls, and matsuri means festival.
Another name is Momo-no-Sekku.The history of this festival is very long.
It began in Edo Era, but just doll playing started in Heian Era.
We display dolls and enjoy eating Chirasi-Zushi.
The main purpose is praying for health and well being of young girls :)
We sing the song of the Doll’s Festival. It’s a very famous song, and easy to remember.After celebrating this event, it is said that we have to put back all dolls as much as possible.
If we do it later and later, a marriage also will be later and later :(
