What we call, Hinamaturi (\u3072\u306a\u307e\u3064\u308a\u3001\u96db\u796d\u308a). It is not a national holiday, but it is the day to celebrate girl&#8217;s health and happiness. It is the day just for girls, and boys might feel left out this day, but it&#8217;s alright. Boys have their own day to celebrate in May.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, not to mention, if you don&#8217;t have a daughter in your family, we typically don&#8217;t celebrate this day. Oh well. too bad.. \u00a0sorry.<\/p>\n<p>One thing about Hinamtsuri(\u3072\u306a\u307e\u3064\u308a\u3001\u96db\u796d\u308a) is that we can&#8217;t celebrate this day without Hina Ningyo (\u3072\u306a\u306b\u3093\u304e\u3087\u3046\u3001\u96db\u4eba\u5f62), the dolls that we decorate for a purpose. From the past when this celebration began there was a specific reason as to why we decorate our house with these dolls. When Girl&#8217;s Day first started back in Heian period, dolls that were made in paper are believed to take away all the bad luck and bad spirits.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>People used to let these dolls float in the downriver, which they used to call Nagashi-bina (\u306a\u304c\u3057\u3073\u306a\u3001\u6d41\u3057\u96db) \uff08paper-dolls floated downriver) It&#8217;s this reason why the Girl&#8217;s Day is also called Doll&#8217;s Festival in Japan. Eventually, these paper dolls became pretty dolls to decorate in the house as a symbol for Girl&#8217;s Day. By decorating with these beautiful dolls, we celebrate and cherish our daughter&#8217;s happiness, health, and safety.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When it gets closer to March 3rd, you will often hear the song below at grocery stores or department stores throughout Japan.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u771f\u58c1\u306e\u96db\u796d\u308a\u3000Hina doll festival\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W654ErCLAbU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Quick Japanese lessons on Hinamatsuri (\u3072\u306a\u307e\u3064\u308a\u3001\u96db\u796d\u308a)\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Did you already display the dolls for Girl&#8217;s Day?<\/p>\n<p>Mo Hina ningyo wa kazari mashita ka?<\/p>\n<p>\u3082\u3046\u3000\u96db\u4eba\u5f62\u3000\u306f\u3000\u98fe\u308a\u307e\u3057\u305f\u304b\uff1f<\/p>\n<p>\uff08\u3082\u3046\u3000\u3072\u306a\u3000\u306b\u3093\u304e\u3087\u3046\u306f\u3000\u304b\u3056\u308a\u3000\u307e\u3057\u305f\u304b\uff1f\uff09<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t wait to celebrate the Girl&#8217;s Day.<\/p>\n<p>Hanamatsuri ga machi do- shi desu.<\/p>\n<p>\u96db\u796d\u308a\u304c\u3000\u5f85\u3061\u9060\u3057\u3044\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n<p>\uff08\u3072\u306a\u307e\u3064\u308a\u3000\u304c\u3000\u307e\u3061\u3069\u304a\u3057\u3044\u3067\u3059\u3002\uff09<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hina dolls look so pretty.<\/p>\n<p>Hina ningyo kireidane.<\/p>\n<p>\u96db\u4eba\u5f62\u3001\u7dba\u9e97\u3060\u306d\u3002<\/p>\n<p>\uff08\u3072\u306a\u3000\u306b\u3093\u304e\u3087\u3046\u3000\u304d\u308c\u3044\u3060\u306d\u3002\uff09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"350\" height=\"263\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/japanese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/03\/japan-616246_1920-350x263.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/japanese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/03\/japan-616246_1920-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/japanese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/03\/japan-616246_1920-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/japanese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/03\/japan-616246_1920-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/japanese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/03\/japan-616246_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><p>\u201cLearning a new language, just like opening a new window, allows you to see the world with intimacy.\u201d \u2015 Pearl Zhu &nbsp; March 3rd is the Girl&#8217;s Day in Japan.
