Boys' Festival First Boys' Festival with a helmet decoration for a May doll | Celebrating with chirashi sushi by Yodai-kun of Yaizu

With both my grandparents and my parents. Everyone is smiling.


Are you still taking pictures? I'm exhausted.


I wonder when I'll be bigger than a doll...


Kashiwamochi rice cakes made by my mom and dad,
I can't eat yet, so I'm eating rice crackers!


The music box sounds great!



My child was born in July last year, and I've been busy every day.
We were able to celebrate our first Doll Festival safely.

The child looked very happy to be surrounded by his parents, grandparents on both sides, cousins, uncles and aunts.

When I visited Hinasei-sama to choose a doll, I was still in the preliminary inspection stage,
They gave us a thorough tour, and in the end the president himself gave us a detailed explanation of the dolls.

I was so touched by their warm hospitality that I decided to purchase it on the spot.

The May doll that arrived was very wonderful.
It was a magnificent sight that I could look at for a long time and never get bored of.

Every time I see the May doll, I feel a surge of hope that my child will be happy.

To celebrate, I invited everyone to my small apartment.
The night before, after the children had gone to bed, my parents worked hard cooking.

We also made our own chirashizushi, braised pork, salad and kashiwamochi.

It had been a while since we had cooked together.

I was always busy raising my children and didn't have time to talk or relax.

I also almost never cooked for my parents.

Through this first festival,
I was filled with gratitude for my husband and my parents.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how my child will grow up from now on.

I would like to celebrate with the doll every year.

We are grateful to our children and Hinasei for deepening the bond between our family.
thank you very much.

We bought a May doll and had a fun celebration for Yota.

Thank you from Yaizu for this connection!

I'm Tsujii, a staff member at Hinasei May Dolls.

Yota has a cute expression as he is surrounded by his family and relatives.
It seems like they're also very interested in music boxes. All of the photos are wonderful and give a glimpse of their happiness.

At the first festival celebration,
I was very impressed that the couple cooked and served the food.

I'm sure Yota, who will grow up seeing the warmth of this couple, will become a kind-hearted child.

By displaying a May doll and celebrating the festival, you can once again feel gratitude for your child's growth and for your family, which will deepen the bonds between family members.

Receiving a letter like this gives me such a warm feeling.

Thank you from Yaizu for this wonderful connection.

We are staff members at Hinasei May Dolls.

It's not often that so many family members get together.

Thanks to Yota, everyone was able to gather and have a great time.
And as they prepare for the celebration, the bond between husband and wife,
The significance of this traditional custom lies in the fact that it allows you to renew your gratitude towards your parents.

I also read your letter and it made me feel the same way again.

The celebration of the festival is truly a profound and wonderful traditional event.

Please continue to make wonderful memories.

Thank you very much for this opportunity.
