Cultural Talk: Hina Dolls by Tsuru Tuenge

Leading up to our Doll’s Day Festival on March 1st, come hear Tsuru Tuenge talk about hina dolls and Hina Matsuri from 1:15-2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center. This talk will take place near a traditional display of hina dolls, featuring a seven-tiered display representing the Emperor and Empress with members of the Imperial Court. Hina Matsuri, also called Doll’s Day or Girl’s Day, is celebrated each year in Japan on March 3 to celebrate the happiness, growth, and good health of girls. In Japan, families with daughters mark the festival by displaying intricately crafted hina dolls dressed in ornate costumes several days before the festival. Included with garden admission.
