Families with daughters in Japan celebrated Hinamatsuri yesterday. Also known as 'Doll's Day' or 'Girls' Day,' this is a festival where people pray for the future happiness of young girls. During Hinamatsuri, people put special ceremonial dolls on display and decorate their homes with peach blossom, and symbolic dishes such as clam soup and sweet rice crackers are eaten. http://www.hyperjapan.co.uk
