Girls and women might have and have had, little power in society and at work, but in the family they have always been celebrated and the tradition around HINA (Girls' Day Festival) is extensive. You have special meals, dress up, grandparents give expensive dolls to each granddaughter, you take up a good part of the room for the display, you have HINA tea parties... And for us who like craft, we can make new ornaments every year.Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-54384530933633623912015-02-19T02:36:46.988+09:002015-02-19T02:36:46.988+09:00wonderful doll tradition.wonderful doll tradition.chitrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13228589799188257636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-16150485201534974552015-02-17T14:59:14.755+09:002015-02-17T14:59:14.755+09:00I have no idea how efficient chilli peppers are ag...I have no idea how efficient chilli peppers are against insects.
