Hina Matsuri (Girls' Day)

Happy Girls' Day Kitties!


        Today marks the Japanese holiday, Hina Matsuri, also known as Doll's Festival or Girls' Day, in which people pray for the health and happiness for young girls. Families celebrate this occasion by displaying their Japanese dolls adorn in costumes resembling the imperial court on a tiered platform covered in a red drape. Originally, the doll display was used to chase away evil spirits and bad fortune. At the end of Hina Matsuri, the dolls are taken down immediately in order to avoid problems of marrying off the young females in the future.

        So, take the time to send some positive thoughts and happy wishes for your adorable girl kitty in your life! Why not make her day with a little kitty surprise? Instead of using traditional Japanese dolls, I had to kittify my doll display as seen in the photo! Hello Kitty kneeling on the pink cushion in her traditional kittylicious Japanese costume is purr-fect for Hina Matsuri! Wishing you girly kitties a life kitty-full of good health and happiness!
