Happy Hinamatsuri celebration: Hoka-chan from Yonago City, Tottori Prefecture: Hina dolls celebrating their first Hinamatsuri

Happy Hinamatsuri celebration: Hoka-chan from Yonago City, Tottori Prefecture: Hina dolls for the first festival

This is a beautiful doll and the whole family loves it.
Thanks to you, we were able to have a wonderful first Doll Festival.
Thank you very much.

"Let's light the lantern." When I was little,
Every year, as March 3rd approached, I would look forward to decorating the dolls as a family and singing Hinamatsuri songs.

I still vividly remember the excitement I felt at that time.
Several decades have passed since then, and I am now the mother of a little girl.

My mother gave my daughter a Hinasei doll as a gift for her first Doll's Festival.
A gentle and warm face, gorgeous costume, cute folding screens and accessories.

And above all, "Hina dolls originally represented the love parents have for their children."
The words of Hinasei-san left a strong impression on me.
I was able to think about the original meaning of Hina dolls and important Japanese customs.

When I was a child, my family would celebrate Hinamatsuri with me every year, and I was filled with gratitude for the love and upbringing I received from them.
Now it's my turn to tell my daughter how I feel.

My daughter, who was 5 months old and celebrating her first Hinamatsuri, seemed very curious about the Hina dolls she was seeing for the first time, and we were able to celebrate a happy Hinamatsuri.

From now on, I would like to continue to decorate the Hina dolls together as a family while singing happy songs every year, and convey my love to my daughter, who has become a precious treasure in our family, by telling her "I love you so much. Thank you so much for being born."

I hope that no matter how old you get, you will continue to be excited about Hinamatsuri.

Thank you so much, Hinasei, for creating a precious page of memories for our family.
The dolls were made with love and care.
I will treasure it and display it forever.
I am truly grateful for the connection with Hinasei.

It's an irreplaceable treasure!
Their eyes, gazing at the Hina dolls with interest, seem to be filled with hope.
