As I wrote the previous post, March 3rd is Girl’s Festival (Hinamatsuri) Japan.
Normally we display specific dolls (Hinaningyou) on a tiered stand. These specific dolls when a baby girl is born, her parents or grandparents buy the dolls. There are some meanings why we give the girl “Hinaningyou”.
I’ll tell you one of them which is the most important wish from the parents of the girl.
The dolls are believed to protect the girl from evil forever.
When I was a child, my mother cooked special dinner for “Hinamatsuri”. It’s called “Chirashizushi” . It’s kind of sushi but looks completely differents and the ingredients also! Few times I wore “Kimono”!!
My mother’s friend sent me a little “Hinaningyou” for me! If you want to see real “Hinaningyou”, please google!!
Normally “Hinaningyou” is consist of seven steps. We call it “Nana dan kazari”.
