Today was my 'lucky girl day' because I was doing sales calls with Stephanie Nakasone, Beverly Hills CVB. The Japanese tour operators whom we met informed us that today, March 3rd, is Japanese Girl's Festival known as hina matsuri (hina doll festival) or momo no sekku (peach flower festival). Although Japanese Girl's Festival isn't a national holiday, it's an important tradition for wishing girls happiness and good health. We were informed that hina dolls are displayed in homes beginning sometime after Risshun (the first day of spring according to the lunar calendar). Seen here are porcelain dolls from Lladro, Beverly Hills.
