What Is Hinamatsuri?<\/strong>
\nHinamatsuri is a centuries-old Japanese festival that celebrates the growth and well-being of girls. Traditionally, families with young daughters will display dolls in their homes. The figures represent Emperor Meiji and his court and are proudly displayed on this day. The dolls are set up on a platform known as hina-dan. Each doll is adorned with beautiful outfits and accessories. The dolls are removed after the festivities have ended. In addition to displaying these dolls, families also enjoy special foods. Dishes often include chirashizushi which is a variety of sushi served over a bowl of rice. Other traditional entrees feature clam soup, steamed shrimp, and sweet sake or rice wine.<\/p>\n

How to Celebrate Hinamatsuri<\/strong>
\nIf you want to participate in the festivities but don\u2019t have any traditional dolls to display, there are plenty of ways to celebrate Hinamatsuri with your family! Here are some ideas for making the most of Girl\u2019s Day:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Give gifts \u2013 It’s customary for parents to give their daughters small presents on Hinamatsuri. If you don’t have access to traditional doll sets or other items related to Girl’s Day, why not gift your daughter something meaningful such as a book or piece of jewelry?<\/p>\n
