March 1: “The Mouse’s Wedding” and Hina Doll Puppets

Hina Matsuri, also known as Doll Festival or Girl’s Day, is a special day in Japan celebrated each year on March 3. Families with daughters often display figurines of the imperial court to promote hope and happiness of the girls and to protect them against illness and misfortune.

Join us for a kamishibai reading of “Nezumi no Yomeiri” or “The Mouse’s Wedding,” an amusing story of self-discovery.

Following the kamishibai presentation, make your own Hina Doll Puppets to wish for the well-being of all the young women in your life!
