What's the special significance of March 3rd?

March 3rd is Japan's Daughter's Day.

On this day, every household will set paper dolls and pray for their daughters' safety.

Yesterday, what was the name of a place in the doll capital of Japan? I forgot to show a puppet pyramid.

I just saw it on CCTV news.

The following is what I got from my search for "Japanese Daughter's Day":

In Japan, March 3rd is Daughter's Day, which has many names, such as Doll's Day and Peach Blossom Festival, which is a festival to wish girls happiness. Japan has had a "puppet show" since ancient times, which is a game in which dolls and girls match some daily necessities. In addition, exorcism prayers also spread from China. Together, during the Heian period (794- 1 192), the "gentle wind culture" of the activities of Daughter's Day gradually formed. At that time, women, especially girls, were very popular among nobles to appreciate dolls. Later, they were combined with the custom of praying for health. At first, they made a paper doll with the date of birth written on it. Under the guidance of a fortune teller, they transferred their misfortune to the doll. Then they put the dolls and offerings on the cloth, and then floated away in the water. Now, there are still "floating chickens" activities in Tottori County. Various dolls appeared in the Edo period (1600- 1868).

In the middle of the Edo period, March 3 of each year was officially designated as Puppet Festival. Since then, it has become popular among the people as a festival for girls. Put the puppet on the stage, put on white wine, diamond-shaped rice cakes and peach blossoms. The girls put on beautiful kimonos and play in front of the puppet altar. Through this ceremony, people pray for the healthy growth and happiness of girls, which also includes the feeling of being blessed and grateful. Nowadays, exquisite and gorgeous dolls are naturally expensive and become a precious collection of every family. Families with girls in Japan will buy a set of puppet dolls. Every year in mid-February, people put the dolls out early, hoping that their daughters can find the right man and get married and start a family as soon as possible. After the Daughter's Day on March 3, they immediately packed their things, lest their daughter stay at home for too long and find her in-laws. When a woman becomes a bride, she will bring these muppets with her parents' wishes for many years to a small family and pass them on to her daughter, and so on.

The doll altar on Daughter's Day is a multi-level step with a red carpet. At the top are imperial couples, on the second floor are three female officials, on the third floor are five court musicians, and on the fourth floor are ministers. Recently, puppet altars on the 7th and 8th floors have been sold, but how many people can buy them because of the high price and the narrow housing in Japan? Parents prepare for their daughters or grandparents prepare for their granddaughters.

Daughter's Day dolls imitate the life scenes of ancient courts, so there is a saying that the princess replaces photos when she gets married. Today's crown princess wears a "twelve-story kimono" at the wedding, just like the queen at the top of the puppet altar. Now, because the big puppet altar takes up too much space, some families decorate it with simple "deformed dolls"

Daughter's Day is a time when cherry blossoms bloom, so adults will make cherry cake for their daughters, hoping that their daughters will look as beautiful as cherry blossoms.
