Hina Matsuri, a Traditional Holiday in Japan
Hinamatsuri (Doll Festival) is held on March 3rd every year to pray for the healthy growth of girls.
In houses where there are girls, they decorate the hina-dan with hina dolls, and celebrate their growth by eating chirashi-zushi, drinking the non-alcoholic shiro-zake ("white sake"), cake, and hina-arare, a type of rice cracker.
Some families also have fun folding hina dolls with origami and singing songs.
During Hina Matsuri various dolls decorate the hina-dan.
These include imperial dolls representing the emperor and empress, courtesan dolls, musician dolls, dolls of warriors, and even servants.
