With gratitude: Nao-chan from Nerima Ward, Tokyo: Hina dolls for the first Doll Festival

Nice to meet you. My name is ○○ and I live in Nerima, Tokyo.
My daughter was born in October and we celebrated her first Hinamatsuri with a Hina doll from Hinasei.

After reading your letter, I decided to email you and would like to enter the contest.

My husband and I struggled to have children, and after five years of infertility treatment, we finally had our daughter.

I was very happy to celebrate my first Hinamatsuri with this beautiful doll.

Unfortunately, I forgot to decorate it with a fan and a hat, so I am embarrassed to enter the photo contest... but I would like to send you the photos to express my gratitude.

I'd like to decorate it properly next year (laughs).

Thank you so much for this wonderful doll!

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!

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

We are very pleased that you chose our Hina dolls to celebrate your child's long-awaited first Doll's Festival.

When I think about what my parents went through over the five years before they were blessed with Naho, I can't help but feel touched.

Rather than decorating with folding screens and fans, we think it's more important for the family to spend time together enjoying themselves and praying for Naho's health.

Next year, we hope you'll enjoy decorating the Hina dolls with Nao, who will be bigger than she was this year.

Thank you very much for this opportunity.
