"Hinamatsuri, the Doll Festival is a celebration for Japanese girls and is held each year on March 3rd. According to custom, when a girl is born in a Japanese family, she receives a set of dolls which represent the court of Heian Japan (794-1185). The dolls are displayed on Girl's Day and a special meal is prepared.
