Every year as March 3 (Hinamatsuri; the Dolls Festival) approaches many households throughout Japan set up a stand of several tiers and display dolls representing the Emperor and Empress and all their courtiers (people serving in court) dressed in Heian period costumes to wish the girls good health and long life. Even though the origin of Hinamatsuri dates back to the medieval times, it wasn't until the mid-Edo period that Hinamatsuri took on its present form. In Heian period courtiers called in "diviners" on the third day of the third month to transfer their own impurities and trouble to paper images (called katashiro), and floated them down a river. (This custom is believed to have come from China.) For more information see --- Judy Shoaf Web Page Please view all pictures for details, please email with questions. Thank you.
