This is the Tsumagojuku Fureaikan or the Tsumago Community Center. Here you can see the traditional decorations for the recently held Hinamatsuri<\/strong> (\u96db\u796d\u308a<\/a>, Hina-matsuri<\/em>), also called Doll’s Day<\/strong> or Girls’ Day<\/strong>– festival of the sacred dolls. Celebrated on 3 March of each year, platforms covered with a red carpet-material are used to display sets of ornamental dolls (\u96db\u4eba\u5f62, hina-ningy\u014d<\/em>) representing the Emperor, Empress, attendants, and musicians in traditional court dress of the Heian period. In addition, you can see dolls dressed with the costumes of the sacred priests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here in Tsumago they made a very contemporary and totally amusing addition to some of the dolls outfits as well.<\/p>\n\n\n
