in Japan, today is “hinamatsuri (Doll’s Festival)” this festival is for only girls!!
a day to pray for young girl’s growth and happiness!
it is also called “momo no sekku (peach festival)”
because peach blossom season on the old lunar calendar.
most families with girls display hina ningyo (special dolls for hinamatsuri) with
peach blossoms from mid of feb.

on march 3rd, girls have home parties.
customary drink for the pary is amazake, a sweet sake (sorry non-alcoholic) and
food is cute colored bite-sized crackers. and chat about boys..or something.. :)
isn’t that a cute festival?!
in here, NYC.. we don’t have hina-ningyo..
so i just sleep in momo-iro (pink) and dream about hinamatsuri!
