Hinamatsuri is a Japanese Doll Festival--March 3 is a day to celebrate for a girl' s healthy development and happiness here in Japan. The focus of the event is the annual display of Hina Dolls and it is also in the tradition to keep them right away coz there is a superstious belief that if Hina Dolls isn't taken down right after the festival, the girls might have to wait to get married. And another traditional Japanese belief is that by touching the dolls all the illness and bad lucks will be transfered to them.
Hina Matsuri is my girls day and so I made their request to celebrate the festival just like last year , this time I baked a Strawberry Short Cake, Chirashi zushi ( a sushi rice flavored with toppings ), Fried Chicken, French Fries, Jellyfish salad, and a simple miso soup ( photo not included coz they gobble the food right away if it is served already lol!)
