Hinamatsuri, the Japanese Doll Festival, is a celebration for Japan’s girls. At first, it was held in Mar. 3rd , the lunar calendar, but after Meiji Restoration, it became Mar. 3rd , the solar calendar.
At this day, parents will set up a display stage to put Japanese dolls dressed in kimokos. Though Hinamatsuri is not a national holiday, families will get together to bless their daughters. The display stages can divide into seven stages. First is the king and queen, and then servants, orchestra, vehicles and so on.
During spring, it is the time of peach blossom; therefore, visitors will bring peaches and dolls if the host has daughters. Besides Hinamatsuri, the dragon boat festival is regarded as the boys’ festival. I think Japan is a country that put much emphasis on children’s culture and education, or they won’t have these children festivals.
