Hina Dolls, Are You Displaying Them?

March 3rd is "Hina Matsuri," a day to wish for the growth and happiness of girls.

Have you displayed the Hina dolls yet?

For brides who have just decided to get married, this may be their last Hina Matsuri as a single person. Perhaps there are brides who say, "I usually don’t display them, but this year I will because it's my last one," or maybe their parents displayed them for them.*

What Do Hina Dolls Represent?

So, what do Hina dolls actually mean?

Hina dolls are said to be substitutes for children, protecting them from illnesses and accidents.

Once a year, on the day of the Peach Festival, March 3rd, Hina dolls are displayed, and families gather to wish for the healthy growth of girls.*

Until now, the parents celebrated Hina Matsuri for them, but from now on, they will be building a new home with their partner, and when a daughter is born, it will be their turn to display the Hina dolls as a mother.

Since it’s something that they will display each year to wish for their beloved daughter's happiness, they want to prepare cute and wonderful Hina dolls, don't they? ◎
