Hinamatsuri (雛祭り): Celebrating Girl's Day in Japan
A few weeks ago I shared a story about treasuring a Hinamatsuri set I received from a dear friend, as this day is celebrated on March 3rd (today!) I wanted to share some more details about the festival itself.

The attached picture shows a 55-year old Hinamatsuri set (set out to celebrate Girls' Day, coming up on March 3rd - come back in a few weeks for more details about that festival) I received from a dear friend. This set went from Japan to Belgium and finally made it to the US just a few weeks ago.
