Hina dolls: Family love grows with the Hina dolls

Cultivating family love on Hinamatsuri

What is the real reason why families should communicate with Hina dolls?

This is important for the future!

Winter is here and the days are very cold, but how are you and your family doing?

And after spending their first coldest season together, your daughter and granddaughter will surely be feeling the warm weather of spring with their Hina dolls.

This spirit of appreciating each season is what defines the Japanese spirit.

I hope that this is the Japanese atmosphere that we want to leave for future generations.

Now, we Japanese have become very wealthy and convenient.

Wherever you go, whenever you go, you can get things.

On the other hand, it is unfortunate, but this also means that we are living in an age where we must communicate the value (essence) of things.

Television, games, the Internet, mobile phones...

Indeed, our lives have changed dramatically in just a few short years.
Here's what I think.

Abundance

Japanese people are saturated with material wealth and convenience.

"Isn't it true that somewhere in your heart you feel lonely?"

As rich and convenient as it is,
"Aren't the most vulnerable members of the family being sacrificed?"

"Hikikomori" and "depression."
It is not something that anyone created.

It's not that anyone is to blame.

In fact, this is a distortion of modern people that has arisen out of our material abundance.
Things and information are so proliferating.
The essence of things is not being conveyed.

What is Hinamatsuri?

So, what is Hinamatsuri?
When asked, "What are Hina dolls...?", I answer like this.

Every year, the Hinamatsuri is a heart-learning event where the family centers around Oyose, deepening the ties and love within the family and making Oyose feel that she is loved.

It is precisely because we live in times such as these that we have now entered an era in which we must provide our children with the nourishment of education that enriches the heart.

Although he is the weakest member of the family now, I feel it from his perspective.
I notice.

They will then grow and create the Japan of the next era.
This cycle of people like this has not changed at all from the past to the present.

Last but not least, Mom and Dad!

Through the experience of Hinamatsuri, what I would like Oyose to teach us is the richness of the heart .
