Hina-Matsuri ひな祭り

ひな祭り(Hina-Matsuri) is a Japanese festival which is held on March 3rd every year. This is a day to pray for young girl's growth and happiness. I celebrated the festival with my home stay family and some of their friends. They displayed a set of dolls (Hina-Ningyo) at the corner side of their living room, and i took plenty of photos. This set of dolls is an heirloom of my home-stay family and has been handing down from generation to generation for more than 30 years.
