Hina maturi(March 3):the Festival of Dolls. Also called Girls'Day
Festival,this is
the day on which wishes are expressed for the future
happiness of girls.
A set of dolls dressed in costumes which were worn in
royal court in ancient times
are displayed together with peach blossoms as
decoration. A sweet drink called shirozake,brewed
from rice gruel mixed with fermented rice, is partaken of on this day. ( Quote from "The Land and Its
people" Nippon Steel CorporationPersonnel Development Division in 1984")
And
"Hina" meaning :
①Chick - Japanese female name and nickname. ②The
country - place far from a
capital. . ③The chick - word which shows something small. ④The
chick - bird which has
been just born."Matsuri"-festival
In the day of Edo era ,there was the family who could
not buy a tiered stand for dolls.
Such a family concluded the scrap of many kimonos with
a string and they hung it and made a hina
They hung the hanging hina on a shoji(like a sliding paper door,see first image,right) in the family and
wished healthy growth of their girl who love .
That is why the hung
hina ornaments.
