March 3 is Hina Matsuri (Doll Festival or Girls’ Festival), when people pray for the happiness and healthy growth of girls. Families with young daughters mark this day by setting up a display of dolls inside the house. They offer rice crackers and other food to the dolls. The main feature of this celebration is a set of dolls, called hina ningyo, which represent the emperor, empress, and members of their court. Families display the dolls at home in February and pack them away the evening of March 3. Superstition dictates that if the dolls are left out after March 4, the daughters will marry late in life.
Sushi omakase restaurant Kosaka celebrates Hina Matsuri with two art sessions as part of its KOSAKA Art Program. Celebrate Girls’ Day with ikebana and origami, which you can take home after you create it.
