the corner we had prepared for New Year a few weeks ago and it has changed its theme is Women's Day (Hinamatsuri 雛 祭り).
Women's Day in Japan on March 3 and a few weeks before we expose dolls representing figures of men and women who wear the kimono. The tradition is very old and the dolls were originally used to protect the health of children exposed at home attracted the bad luck and bad fate, on the feast day, March 3, were then abandoned in the rivers. The first pictures of the dolls were very simple, without even a single card, gradually over the years have become more beautiful and the party has become the day devoted to girls only. Today saw the beauty of the dolls and then reached the cost does not let go more into the river but are now held on March 4, seems to leave them in sight after the party is bad luck to the girls who are reluctant to marry.
In some countries, however, the tradition continues and Shinto shrines are celebrated in the ceremonies.
