Japanese Childrens
Festivals
GIRLS DAY
A larger doll shrine representing the
Japanese royal court of the Heian period
Hina matsuri is a girls festival . This is celebrated because the parents want their children to grow strong and healthy. This happens on March 3rd . On this day parents of the girls get a doll shrine. My house in Japan was small so we only set up the first step of the shrine but actually there are more.
It doesnt matter how many steps there are but the nice ones have about 8 steps in total. The doll shrine is covered with red cloth. These dolls are called hina ninngjyow. Hina means princess and ninngiyow means doll. These dolls represent a royal family in Japan, long time ago, in Heangidai Heian period about 1300 years ago.
On the top step, there is an empress and an emperor and on the other steps are people the noble classes. On the second step there are three ladies holding Japanese rice cakes. On the third step there are five musicians holding Japanese traditional instruments and on the 4th step there are four men and beside them there are two cherry blossoms. On the last step in this picture there are 10 pieces of furniture.
During Hina matsuri girls wear kimonos and they eat hina-arale, The children drink ama-sake, a rice wine that is made especially for girls during Hina matsuri. It has no alcohol in it so children can drink it without worrying.
Boys Day
Kodomo-no-i is a day for children. This festival happens on 5th of May . Well, actually it is suppose to be Childrens Day everyone calls it Boys Day. On Boys Day, the family who has a son goes outside and flies huge carp-shaped streamers in their garden. Actually the height of this is really as tall as a 3-story house. Girls do not have this but our family has one because I begged my father.
