March 4: “The Mouse’s Wedding” and Hina Doll Decoration

Hina Matsuri, also known as Girl’s Day or the Doll Festival, is celebrated in Japan each year on March 3. Families with daughters mark the occasion by displaying beautiful dolls representing the imperial court, symbolizing their hopes for their girls’ happiness, health, and protection from misfortune.

Join us for a kamishibai reading of Nezumi no Yomeiri (The Mouse’s Wedding), a charming and humorous tale about self-discovery and finding one’s true place in the world.

Following the presentation, participants will create their own Hina doll wreath to celebrate the well-being and bright future of the young women in their lives.
