Every year during the first week in March, the Japanese people have a big festival to celebrate their daughters. Having wonderful daughters and the Precious Little One, I wanted to take part in all the festivities. This is me after spending at least 45 minutes getting dressed in kimono. The ladies with me were my "dressers". No way you could do this alone!
I am standing by the traditional hina doll display so important in the Festival. The top 2 dolls are the emperor and empress. Below are the servants...ladies-in-waiting, grooms, etc. and each display has a plum and peach tree. They are beautiful and can get very expensive. Components of the display are bought each year at festival time...usually by the grandparents.
