HINAMATSURI

The Doll's Festival is held on March 3rd. It's also called "the Girls' Festival" because it's to wish for girls' growth and happiness.

It's also known as the "Peach Tree Festival" because the flowers bloom around that time.

Families with young girls display beautiful doll sets (ancient court costumes of the Heian era), peach trees, shiro-zake (white sweet rice wine) and hishi-mochi (diamond-shaped rice cake).
