Hello and Welcome to www.nipponcraft.com,
Today, 3 March 2017, is the Nipponcraft's 6th anniversary since the shop was opened on March 3rd, 2011. We appreciate customers' shopping and interests.
In Japan, March 3rd is a special day for little girls and is called "Hinamatsuri" (see also Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinamatsuri). Families with daughters wish their healthy growth and happy lifetime with displaying dolls at home.
The following snapshots were taken at a "Hinamatsuri" event in Katsuura (勝浦), a fisherman's town facing to the Pacific Ocean. Katsuura is a 130 km drive from Tokyo. According to an event staff, approximately 6,000 Hinamatsuri dolls were displayed on the platforms. Old families from all over Japan contributed their dolls to the city for this event. Their daughters should have been grown happily, and the dolls' next role is to make visitors to the city happy.
