It is said that the Hinamatsuri began about 1,000 years ago among the aristocrats of that time during the Heian period.
At that time, on the day of the snake at the beginning of March, the "Kamimi no Setsuku" is held to pray for a disease-free life, and on this day, an onmyoji (fortune teller)
They called and prayed, and they put simple dolls made of paper and plants with alcohol and offerings and threw them into rivers and the sea on their behalf.
At that time, the dolls were called "Hiina", and it is believed that this "Kamimi no Setsuku" and "Hiina Play" came together to form the Hinamatsuri as it is today.
In this way, I would like to decorate the peach festival that has been handed down for a long time with the children and pass on to future generations a meaningful event that wishes for the healthy growth of children.
