My family tradition.

Now, I'll introduce my family tradition. First, we have doll festival in March third. Before festival, we decorate the dolls and  many ornaments. We call it "Hina doll". It is a japanese traditional festival for girls. My family decorate the dolls for my younger sister. We pray hers health and hapiness.

Second, we have a children festival in May fifth. Before festival, we prepare a doll and carp streamer. The doll is called "May doll". Normally it is japanese helmet, three arrows and japanese sword. It is also japanese traditional festival for boys. So it is a festival for me in my family. We pray my health and growth.
Last, before new years, my grandmother makes Amazake. It is sweet half sake. We drink it before new years. It is japanese traditional drink in winter. I think it is soso. If you interested in Amazake, please try once. Thank you for reading.

  1. That's an interesting tradition! The dolls looks so intricate. I've seen a few May Dolls before but never really knew much about them. Maybe I'll give Amazake a try someday.
