Happy Girls Day aka Peach Festival







3/3 or March 3rd is the Girls' Day, also known as Momo no Sekku (Peach Festival) or Hina Matsuri (Doll Festival) in Japan. So, girls (young and old), stop by our house to view the beautiful doll displays and blooming peach tree and a cup of amazake (sweet sake).




These exquisit standing dolls were gift from Grandma May and Auntie Hisako when daughter Hanako was born.



I got the large set of sitting dolls (Ohina-sama) in Honolulu, Hawaii where daughter Hanako was born.
