Doll's Festival (Peach Festival)



March 3rd is celebrated as the Festival of Dolls. 
(For girls!)

We display graceful dolls in ancient court costumes 
on a tier of 5 or 7 shelves covered with scarlet cloth. 
These dolls represent the Emperor and Empress, 
the court ladies, 
the ministers 
and the court musicians. 

The girls are expected to be as elegant as these courtly ladies.

We have a good time, 
eating sweet rice crackers and drinking white sake. 

おひとり様ひなまつりをしてしまった♪
うっぷぅ~。

おやすみなさい♪
ちょっと早すぎ?
