Hina Matsuri, also known as Doll Festival or Girls' Day, is celebrated in Japan on March 3rd each year. This traditional festival 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 Hina Matsuri, families often enjoy special foods like chirashi sushi and hishi mochi, a diamond-shaped rice cake. The festival is a time for parents to pray for their daughters' well-being and future happiness, making it a cherished occasion in Japanese culture.
