girls’ day
today is march 3rd and in japan the day is called girls’ day or the doll festival (in japanese ‘hina matsuri‘). from what i have found out, japanese families with young girls usually celebrate this day by setting up elaborate stages with dolls to represent the high court of the japanese emperor. the families also take their daughters out to the shrines and temples to wish their daughters good health and prosperity in their lives.
google of course have contributed to the day with their doodle. 
i will be experiencing the setting up of the dolls this weekend with my host family and so i will keep you posted on how that goes.
so, to all the little girls out there i wish you good health and prosperity in your lives. 
light and love to you all…
