Hina Dolls, or Hina Ningyo, are traditional Japanese dolls displayed during the Hinamatsuri festival, celebrated on March 3rd. These dolls represent the Emperor, Empress, and their court, and are typically made of materials like cloth and paper. Families display them on a tiered platform, often adorned with miniature furniture and accessories, to wish for the health and happiness of their daughters. The custom of displaying Hina Dolls dates back to the Heian period (794-1185) and is believed to have originated from a practice of floating dolls down rivers to ward off evil spirits. Today, these dolls are cherished as symbols of good fortune and are often passed down through generations.
