"桃の節句" (Momo no Sekku), also known as the Doll Festival or Girls' Day, is celebrated in Japan on March 3rd. This traditional event is dedicated to the health and happiness of girls. Families display ornate hina dolls on tiered platforms, representing the emperor, empress, and their court. During this festival, people also enjoy special foods like chirashi-zushi (scattered sushi) and hishi-mochi (diamond-shaped rice cakes). The celebration often includes rituals to ward off evil spirits and ensure a prosperous future for girls. Overall, it is a time for families to come together and celebrate their daughters.
