Sakura-mochi on the sakura-inspired plate my daughter made in ceramics class ... and my daughter's princess and prince dolls we got in Hakata, Japan, near where my parents grew up.
Now that I finally remembered to put the dolls up, it is almost time to take them down! Japanese superstition says that if your dolls are displayed for too long after Girls Day, the girl will take a long time to get married. On second thought, maybe we'll keep the dolls out for a while ... I don't think we are in any hurry for her to grow up and get married!
we always remember girls day coz our 4thborn was born that day - tho, unfortunately, we don't have any dolls to display. would be nice to keep them single for awhile . . .
ReplyDeleteit's great that you have a built-in reminder! we don't have a big set of dolls; didn't grow up with one, so i finally bought these when we were in japan a few years ago. yes, let's hope we are several years away from our kids walking down that aisle!
