| This is a display placed in most people's homes during the Girls Festival (Hina-matsuri) on March 3rd. It's history dates back over 1000 years and has been passed down to daughters ever since to wish her happiness and a healthy life. Originally the dolls were made of paper and used among the women in the nobility, but in the 1800s the dolls became more elaborate and more widespread among the common folk. Now, almost every family displays the Dairi Bina (emperor and empress dolls) |
