these dolls are so beautiful and magical at the same time, I think if you look at them for longer, you could almost dive into earlier times or a completely different world - thanks a lot for sharing

Hina Matsuri is a lovely time in Japan with the ume trees blossoming, the cherry tree blossoms just around the corner, and beautiful decorations for Hina Matsuri everywhere. It would make a great birthday trip for you some day!
