Happy Hinamatsuri!

I am a day late and a dollar short, but better late than never. 

On the third day of the third month in Japan, is known as the Girls day festival, or Hinamatsuri, or the Dolls Festival. Ceremonial dolls are brought out and placed on platforms covered with red cloth, representing the Emperor and Empress, the lords and ladies, the musicians, and the accessories of the court. Special foods are served, and the Tea ceremony is performed. I love setting this up but this year I did not set up my display ahead of time nor get my Asian dolls out like I had planned to do. I do have my photos from previous years. 















I hope you enjoyed the photos of Hinamatsuri!
