Hinamatsuri, or Girls' Day, is the Japanese Doll Festival celebrated on March 3rd of every year. This custom of displaying dolls is believed to keep bad spirits away and bring good health and happiness for girls.
To me, Girls' Day growing up always meant mochi (a traditional Japanese treat) along with the boys putting up the girls' chairs in school. Teaching those boys good service at a young age!
To all the males in the world, please honor Girls' Day and be nice to girls today! (And don't worry you have your day too. Boys' Day is on May 5th.)
