Hinamatsuri is a traditional Japanese festival celebrated on March 3rd, also known as Doll's Day or Girls' Day. During this event, families display ornate dolls called hina ningyo on tiered platforms, representing the emperor, empress, and their court. The festival is dedicated to the health and happiness of girls, and it is customary to enjoy special foods like chirashi sushi and hishi mochi. In addition to the doll displays, families often pray for their daughters' well-being and future happiness. The festival has roots in ancient customs meant to ward off evil spirits and promote good fortune. Today, Hinamatsuri remains a cherished cultural celebration in Japan.
