Indeed, I remember rushing to clean up the hina matsuri the day after the festival when I was a child. I always felt a sense of tastelessness in my heart as a child because I was always in a hurry to clean up. One theory is,<strong>It is good to put away the doll's ornaments on March 6, the day of the Enkihiki.<\/strong>It is considered to be Just,<strong>In some areas of Kyoto Prefecture, it is decorated until March 3rd of the lunar calendar, about one month later than usual.<\/strong>In some places, the Christmas tree is put away the next day in Japan. As a side note, Christmas trees are put away the next day in Japan, but in Europe and the United States, they are displayed for a week after the New Year. It is said that it is bad luck to put it away early. Perhaps the Japanese are impatient, or perhaps it is a sign that they cherish the sense of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Now, every year on March 3,<strong>Hinamatsuri (Girls' Festival) events are held in many places in Kyoto<\/strong>The first two are the Shimogamo-jinja Shrine and the Shimogamo-jinja Shrine. Nagarehina (streaming hina) will appear on the Mitarashi River at Shimogamo Shrine, and people will appear on the Hinadama (Girls' Day) at Ichihiru Shrine, dressed in costumes. However, due to the new coronavirus, various events have been canceled or postponed this year, so please check in advance. Just,<strong>Hina Matsuri is an event to ward off bad luck.<\/strong>For example, the Hishimochi that is displayed and eaten at Hina Dolls' Festival<strong>Pink is the color of peach to ward off evil, white is the color of snow to purify, and green is a tree for health.<\/strong>The colorful pink, green, yellow, and white hina-arare also incorporate the three colors of hishimochi. It is also said that the colorful pink, green, yellow, and white hina arare are derived from the three colors of rhombi rice cakes,<strong>Representing the seasons of spring, summer, fall, and winter, it is a prayer for a year of good health and good fortune.<\/strong>I also asked.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leafkyoto.net\/leaf\/wp-content\/uploads\/makai\/2020\/03\/hinamatsuri05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1130 aligncenter\" \/><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">sweetened rice-flour cakes for offering at the Dolls' Festival<\/span><\/p>\n<p>from long ago<strong>In Kyoto, merchants prayed for their daughters to be rid of bad luck, and at the same time, to marry into a respectable man like Ouchiura-sama.<\/strong>The people used to decorate the hina dolls with a wish that the spring would come and the bad luck would go away.
