March 3rd is Hina Matsuri Day in Japan. Girls Day..... For the past couple of weeks displays of dolls have been cropping up at the mall and in other public places.
They have special treats, leave the dolls up a couple of weeks, and pray for all the daughters on this special day. We can do that.
Akikosan helped us make a set of Origami Hina Matsuri dolls. The black hats with sticks are men - the ones with tiaras and fans are women. We aren't sure what Jared's doll (the pink one with the top hat) really is. ::snort:: She left us supplies to make a set for each one of us.....
This is one holiday we plan to "Goeckerize" and adapt.
Choosing Joy!

One of my Hawaiian friends (of Japanese descent) told me about this holiday. Her dad would buy her a kokaishi doll every year for girl day.

What a great way to celebrate, Bre. I should do this....of course I missed it this year - but I could get them two for the last two years. LOL
