2017 Katsuura Big Hina Matsuri Doll’s Festival 雛祭り (勝浦)
Every third day of the third month of the year, Japan celebrates the Girl’s Festival, more popularly known as the Doll’s Festival. The general word for the girl’s day is hina, which can be combined to form the word tachibina (standing hina) or dairi-bina (the seated royal pair of dolls featured in many displays). In Japan, the Doll’s festival is called Hina Matsuri or the Peach Festival. The Doll’s Festival was said to be legally established in 1687. For many mothers and daughters in Japan the Doll’s Festival is the special time to pray for good luck and fortune in marriage and health. This event in which 30,000 hina dolls collected from throughout Japan are displayed throughout the city. Visitors can see various kinds of hina dolls by touring the various venues.
Japan - Doll festival
T/I: 10:22:41
Inuyama, in central Japan, was a flourishing transportation centre in ancient times. Today, the city is best known for its annual Festival of the Dolls - a three-hundred-year-old tradition which is celebrated every spring.
Thirteen huge floats are pushed through the city by sheer manpower. On top of each float is a display of mechanical dolls, operated by puppeteers from below. The dolls have been fashioned in Inuyama for centuries and the art of carving them has been passed down from generation to generation of the Shobei Tamaya family. The dolls themselves and the mechanisms which work them are all made from wood.

Hina Matsuri: Japanese Doll Festival
A visit to the extravagant decorations of the Nanshōsō mansion in Morioka, Iwate, Japan: an historic residence now open to the public.
Built in 1885 during the Meiji era, there are treasures here ranging from the more modern all the way back to the feudal Edo period.
With the dolls and a hot cup of amazake in hand, looking out at the snow-blanketed garden...
It's a place to get lost in time.

One Hundred Eighty-Ninth Episode: Lilya's Hina Doll Set
First off, I am REALLY sorry about that DAMNED AUTO FOCUS during the time-lapse! Sorry about that!
First two sentences, I've already apologized twice. I feel so Canadian! :)
Hina Ningyo (dolls) are doll sets bought to celebrate the first daughter. We haven't put Lilya's set up for a few years for various reasons (Duncan, Kai and Nina) but we really wanted to put it up ths year, even though we got to it so late we only had it up for 4 days!
If you want to send something and maybe get a postcard back you can send things to
Mark Visser

But absolutely let me know if something is coming since the post office will only hold things for me for one week before sending them back, or possibly disposing of them.

Town overrun by dolls for annual festival
It's an amazing sight - a sea of red, peppered with the delicate painted faces of thousands of dolls.
Estimates vary, but here in Katsuura organisers say around 23,000 of these Hina dolls are on display.
They're set to attract between 200,000 and 300,000 visitors during the Hina Doll Festival's 10 to 15 day period.
That's no small feat for a town of just 20,000 people.
Luckily for the locals here they've been helped by another Japanese location which shares the same name.
Katsuura in the Tokushima Prefecture began collecting unused dolls from all over Japan years ago - using them to commemorate the Hina Doll Festival.
For the last fourteen years, city officials and members of the local community there worked together during the Hina Festival period to put on display of as many dolls as possible.
Now, Katsuura in the Tokushima Prefecture has helped by donating dolls to this town's project.
With that donation, displays now line the streets, while temples and shrines lend their spaces to create striking displays.
Traditionally, most Hina doll displays are arranged in rows of just 5 or 7 steps, but in Katsuura displays like this are much larger.
Here at Tomisaki Shrine, 1,300 dolls are covering the 60 steps which lead right to the top.
Each morning, these dolls are carefully laid out around 8am by local volunteers, then collected again at around 7pm.
Tomisaki Shrine curator, Mr.Kobayashi, explains the tradition behind the Doll Festival - or Hina Matsuri as it's known in Japan.
The Hina Matsuri has always been a festival to celebrate and bring happiness to women, he says.
It began back in the Heian period and it was always held on March 3rd. Back in the days people would get in the river with dolls they had made of straw. The dolls symbolised the people who made them and were said to hold any negativity or bad karma that person might have had. Then the dolls were floated on the river with the hope they'd take with them any bad luck.
Of course, over time playing with dolls became a popular pastime among the upper-classes.
Because of this, the dolls became more elaborate and were no longer floated down rivers but rather put on display.
While the symbolism of the dolls as a purifying force still holds today, these dolls are kept each year then reused.
Kobayashi explains that most of the dolls on display here were most likely abandoned by their previous owners.
Usually when a baby girl is born, parents and grandparents buy Hina dolls for their daughter or grand daughter, he says.
When the child is small these dolls are put on display every year but as the girl grows older people stop doing it and the dolls that the family had end up in closets or storage rooms. Fourteen years ago the town of Katsuura in Tokushima Prefecture began collecting all these unused dolls from all over Japan and put them on display as a way of commemorating them.
Kobayashi says his Tomisaki Shrine display may well be the biggest in the country.
The dolls are displayed here on 60 steps, he says. Usually Hina dolls are displayed on 5 or 7 steps, so in that sense, considering the height of these steps, this is the largest display in Japan.
Hayashi Hiromo is a housewife visiting from Tokyo, she came because of her daughter:
We heard great things about the Katsuura Hina Doll Festival and now since we have a 7-month-old daughter, we decided to come here today, she says.
Throughout Katsuura, there are doll displays outside shops and on street corners.
Mitsuko Yashiro is Chairwoman of the Katsuura Society: We have Hina Doll displays throughout the city to encourage people to visit the whole town. There are also another couple of places where the dolls are displayed on stone steps.

In this episode, I explore the rituals of Girls Day, also known as Hina Matsuri. Girl's day is a Japan Holiday. On this day Japanese dolls called Hina dolls are displayed in Japanese homes. These dolls are laid out on leveled planks with red carpeting. They represent marriage, and the Emperor and Empress of the Heian period. Some of these doll sets can be incredibly expensive.
Hina Matsuri, is the festival celebrating girl's day. Some cities in Japan throw festivals on streets with merchants lining up their booths and vying for the business of passerby's. This video shows you the dolls you can find at various shops for the girl's festival and some of the traditions.
Hina Matsuri is big in Japan, with most families participating in some way, either by displaying Hina Dolls, or joining and partaking in festivities.
