Hinamatsuri

Every March 3rd is the day of Hinamatsuri（雛祭り）. We pray for the growth of girls. However, it is not a holiday.

Traditional families with girls decorate dolls called “Hinaningyou（雛人形）” at their house.

Hinaninngyou, 雛人形
The dolls are wearing costumes of aristocracy of more than 1000 years old.

Furthermore, there is a superstition that girls’ marriage is delayed when the removal of the dolls is delayed after the Hinamatsuri.
