ひな祭り ( Doll Festival )

Families with daughters celebrate March 3 by displaying hina dolls on a stepped shelf to express the wish for their daughters' good health and growth. The dolls are dressed in gorgeous kimono modeled after those worn by women in the ancient Heian court.

女の子のいる家庭では３月３日にその子の健康と成長を願い、ひな人形をひな段に飾って祝う。ひな人形は平安時代の女性が着ていた豪華なきものを着てる。
