Today is one of the happy day for girls to have.
When a first girl in the family is born,then parents or grandparents would buy the dolls for grandchild(of girl).
A few weeks before the day(March 3rd),we would put them out from Japanese closet(wherever they put them) and wishing them to be healthy and others.
The houses in a city is smaller than countryside`s,so they might would buy small type and easy to put them back.
Family celebrate for the girls and eat cakes or snacks or Sushi that are made for the day(related to dolls color or shapes etc).
