Hinamatsuri (ひなまつり)
Hinamatsuri (ひなまつり) is a special celebration recognised in Japan annually on the 3rd of March. On this day, platforms covered with red material display a beautiful set of dolls, which are ornamental and traditional in style.
These dolls represent the Emperor, Empress, attendants, musicians and ministers or protectors of Japanese royalty. The display traditionally represents a wedding from the Heian period.
Also known as Girls’ Day or Dolls’ Day, parents display these dolls to pray for the health and happiness of their daughters. Japanese people also celebrate by playing games, singing songs, and enjoying special foods and desserts.
