Doll Festival/Hina Matsuri Exhibit
at UA International Center for Students
Beautiful dolls representing the traditional
Japanese royal court will be on display in the
tatami room. These precious dolls, which
have been handed down from generation to
generation, provide viewing pleasure for the
whole family and their friends as well. The Doll
Festival, which was originally a purification
ritual, represents a day of hope for the growth,
happiness, and future of young girls.
Hina Matsuri is celebrated in Japan on March 3rd, Girls Day. One legend says that if a girl displays her dolls for more than three days that she will marry later in life!
March to allow our students an opportunity to
visit this unique and beautiful display.
