Sorry for the long delay but we have been very busy at work this week. We will continue to be VERY busy this week but it should start to ease off next week.
The 3rd of March is Hinamatsuri 雛祭 - Girls day or the dolls festival. It is very important for families with girls. Intricately decorated dolls sets are displayed. We have been given a small set which is incredibly pretty. I will try to put a photo of our set up on the blog sometime soon. The picture you should be able to see on this page now is an impressive display from our friends house (they have a daughter).
Families with boys wait until May 5th for the Boys festival (Tango no sekku) which, unfairly in my opinion, has degenerated into a general childrens festival... If girls get their own day why don't the boys?!
