It's a festival held for young girls

My mother displays hina dolls for Yuka* every year *his sister

These dolls protect young girls from disease and accidents...

...by drawing the ills and bad luck out from the girls, and suffering in place of them

So, these dolls are displayed to help girls grow healthily and happily

Usually we begin displaying them once setsubun* is finished... *the day before spring

...so the beginning of spring, about February 4th, or at the latest the 24th

[They are displayed until March 3rd...]

[...the day of Hina Matsuri]

Our hina dolls are made in Kyoto...

...and we don't really know why, but Odairi-sama's [the emperor]...

...well, the man and the woman's* seats are reversed *Ohina-sama

Well, since our dolls are Kyosei...

...which means made in Kyoto...

Odairi-sama and Ohina-sama's places are switched

Normally it's the opposite

Hishi-mochi* *diamond-shaped rice cakes

Well, this isn't the real thing

How do you call that?

Imitation?

Model?

Usually you display real mochi, but...

Kyoto...

Kyosei means Kyoto-sei*, right? *made in Kyoto

Hina

Hina dolls

When Yuka was little...

Did I wear it?

No, you didn't

How old was she when...

On her first Hina Matsuri

So when she was a baby

When she was small, really young...

Probably her first Hina Matsuri... [she wore one]

There are seven steps

Are there really seven steps there?

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7...

This one has two

There is a song...

...about Hina Matsuri

Congratulations O-Hina Matsuri
