- HINA-DOLLS are a Girl's Festival (March 3) decoration. In Japan, they are called "HINA-NINGYOU" or "OHINA-SAMA". For the first time, these displays are decorated on the first girl's day after a baby girl was born for her. Then, the displays are decorated for a month every year. Some customers sometimes asked me, how long does it decorate, how old she would be. I would answer that she can decide it by herself because the displays are her own things. Hina dolls are displayed to pray for her good health and good fortunes.
