Hinamatsuri (Japanese: 雛祭り), also called Doll's Day or Girls' Day, is an annual festival in Japan (but not a national holiday), celebrated on 3 March of each year.[1][2] Platforms covered with a red carpet material are used to display a set of ornamental dolls (雛人形, hina-ningyō) representing the emperor, empress, attendants, and musicians in traditional court dress of the Heian period.[3]: 52
