That's good! This is also nice! :Rio-chan from Edogawa Ward | First Doll's Festival

That's good! This is also nice! :Rio-chan from Edogawa-ku, Tokyo:Hina dolls and Hinamatsuri: A letter from the first Hinamatsuri

Thank you for this wonderful doll.

My parents and sister gave this to my daughter as a gift for her first seasonal celebration this year.

Since I had limited space to display them, I thought that choosing based on size would be enough before I visited the store, but when I saw the displays, there was a wide variety... I thought, "This one's nice! This one's lovely!" and it was hard to decide, which was a pleasant dilemma.

When it arrived at my house and I put it on display, I was once again captivated by its gentle features and beautiful outfit.
My daughter was also looking at the dolls with joy.

My husband, who didn't really know much about Hina dolls, was full of praise, saying the whole room looked different.

Although the day was held online, we were all able to celebrate together and had a fun first Doll Festival.

My daughter seemed in a good mood wearing the hakama, something she had never been allowed to touch before.

I took some really cute photos, so I'd like to enter them.

Now that I have a daughter myself, I am able to appreciate once again the feelings my parents had when they displayed the Hina dolls.

From now on, my husband and I would like to pray for our daughter's happiness and growth and celebrate the festival every year.

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!

This is Shibata from Hinasei Dolls in Fujieda City, Shizuoka Prefecture.

I finally got to wear the hakama that I had been dying to touch for so long!
That's why there are so many photos of her with such bright and lovely smiles.

It's amazing how a child's smile has the power to make those around them feel happy just by looking at it.

I'm sure that next year and the year after that, and for a long time to come, Rio will continue to use her power to make everyone around her happy.

I sincerely hope that next year we will be able to celebrate Hinamatsuri together as a family.

Thank you very much for this opportunity.
