The hina ningyou (hina dolls)
Click image for larger view.
Hata3 often go to the Jidayu-bori Minkaen park near my house. This park preserve historic sites about old farm house of Edo Period in Setagaya-ku. When I come here, I can have a relaxing moment at all.
Today, I saw some set of dolls for the hinamatsuri festival dressed in period dress and displayed on a special stand at this park. Hinamatsuri is the Jpanese girls' festival on March 3, when the birth of girls is celebrated and wishes are expressed for their future happiness.
But this old custom might be dying out recently in the urban area of Japan. Because I have never seen the hina dolls around our normal life for a long time.
