Girls' "Sweet" Day



　The set of ornamental dolls "Hina-Ningyō" stood in line.
It is a thing to celebrate Hina-matsuri (Girls' Day March 3).

In a show case, I see the cakes which seem to be delicious and delicate.



　This is the traditional decoration.
Each doll has various roles.

The season is going to come this year.



　This shop is the long-established store of Japanese sweets (Wagashi).
The salesclerk puts on a clean cowl.

Her traditional style treats the heart of the customer.


Welcome to the classic world...
Here is Ginza, Tokyo.

    When I saw the title of the post, I supposed it was about Valentines Day. Now that I saw the photos, I think it’s time for me to display hina-dolls at my home. Thanks for this reminder, and lovely pictures. I love both sweets and hina-dolls.
