Happy Hinamatsuri From the Anime World! Part I

posted on by Ken Iikura-Gross
It's time to break out the Emperor and Empress dolls for Girls' Day in Japan!

It was a warm and sunny day on March 3 in Tokyo — a perfect day to enjoy the Tokyo Marathon. But for those who celebrate in a more traditional way, it was also Hinamatsuri (a.k.a. Dolls' Day or Girls' Day). So, what do people do on this holiday? They put dolls of the Emperor, Empress, attendants, and musicians on display and eat some sweets. But, for those in the anime and manga world, it's a day to dress their characters as the Emperor and Empress. And there are a whole lot of Emperors and Empresses today:
