About Hinamatsuri

Every year on March 3rd, Hinamatsuri celebrates the healthy growth of girls. The history of Hinamatsuri is ancient, originating from a ritual where people made dolls from paper to serve as substitutes and floated them down rivers to ward off misfortune.

It is believed that Hinamatsuri was established during the Edo period, combining this tradition with "hiina asobi," a children's game similar to doll play or playing house that existed since the Heian period.
