Girls' Sweet Day and Wagashi with " Celebration " Japanese calligraphy

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.

　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.
