3月3日はひな祭り（女の子の日）です。女の子の健やかな成長と幸せを祈ります。雛人形を飾ってお祝いするのですが、雛飾りは緋毛氈のかかった５段から7段の棚に、宮廷の衣装を身にまとった人形-お内裏様とお雛様、官女に大臣、五人ばやし-を飾ったものです。女の子たちはおしゃれして、雛飾りの前で雛あられを食べたり白酒を飲んだりして楽しみます。ひな祭りは別名で桃の節句とも呼ばれます。

March 3rd is celebrated as the Doll's Festival called Hina Matsuri, or the Girl's Day. It is a time to pray for healthy growth and happiness for young girls. People set up graceful dolls in ancient court dress on a tier of 5 or 7 shelves covered with scarlet cloth. These dolls represent the Emperor and Empress, the court ladies, ministers and musicians. 
Young girls dress up and get together before the doll display and have a fun time, eating sweet rice crackers (Hina arare) and drinking white sake (Shirozake). It is also known as the Peach Festival.
