3rd March, Festibval for girls! Hina-Matsuri

festival for girls! on march we, Japanese people have an event of girls, hina Matsuri.

simple style of Hina Matsturi. not traditional one!

emperor and wife, they sit on special cusion.

normaly, the decoration is used red carpet stars, emperor and wife, server, music player, and so on.
I just use emperor and wife, the food, hina-arare.

Hina-arare,the sweets. white, red（pink）, parple(black), blue(green), yellow are important color of Japanese traditional culture which came from old china.

it's very simple style. white and red paper on the fin is also emper and wife. but, these one are burnt after this event. we wipe out our body lightly by using them to get out bad luck from our body. so, they will receive it. they should be burnt or flowed in river. fire and water have same meaning of role, clean up soul.

sadly they will be burnt!

adding to that, we use peach flower. peach's Japanese name is momo. the meaning is forever. 

Amento is kind of peach tree which was grown by special gardener. various colors of blances were attached and gonna be one tree. It's ｃeｌeｂeration flower for Hina-matsuri  

march is 3, this number is girl's one. untill 3rd March, you guys could see hina-Matsuri!
