Hinamatsuri, also known as Doll's Day or Girl's Day, is celebrated annually on the 3rd March in Japan. It is a special holiday set aside to commemorate the growth, happiness and prosperity of young girls.
This unique festival is celebrated differently based on the region of Japan you are in; but most customs include similar features like a set of cute Hina dolls, peach flower decorations as well as festive food.
To celebrate this joyous day, our Japanese teachers prepared amazing and fun materials for our students.
Our HLP Japanese students watched videos about the origin and celebration of Hinamatsuri (Doll's Festival) as well as made their own dolls with origami.
