雛祭り Dolls Festival




今日は私を食事に招かれた。友だちの家族は三人です。娘は10か月から初絶句です。雛人形 がとても面白くてきれいだった。昼ごはんがおいしくて、昼が楽しかった。



Today I was invited to a friend's house for lunch which was lovely. My friend Masayo is married to Taku with a 10 month old baby daughter Leona. This is the time of Hina Matsuri (Girls' Festival or Dolls' Festival), so Masayo wanted me to have the opportunity to see the traditional decorations in a family home. The dolls were so elaborate and beautiful. The display was incredible. Sadly, my pictures do no justice to it at all, hopefully I'll be able to update them. Lunch was absolutely delicious and it was a really fun afternoon.
