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.<\/p>\n<p>Sushi omakase restaurant Kosaka celebrates Hina Matsuri with two art sessions as part of its KOSAKA Art Program. Celebrate Girls\u2019 Day with ikebana and origami, which you can take home after you create it.<\/p>\n<p>For more information and tickets visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/kosakanyc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/kosakanyc.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>RSVP for your ticket at <a href=\"mailto:art@kosakanyc.com\" target=\"_blank\">art@kosakanyc.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday, February 28\u00a0\u00a0 01pm to 05pm Kosaka Restaurant 220 W. 13th Street (between Greenwich and 7th Avenues), New York, NY<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=62333"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62333\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":62334,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62333\/revisions\/62334"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=62333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=62333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=62333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
