GIrls Day

Hinamatsuri or "Girls Day" was celebrated in Japan earlier this month. Elaborate doll displays are traditionally set up. J's school had a beautiful display. At first J wasn't interested in having his picture taken in front of it, but when he saw little brother and mom getting their picture taken he relented and let us take his picture. Not one of J's favorite Japanese holidays that we have had just because he is for some reason against "dolls." Hummm...boys.


J and some friends from school at the Jidokan in Shibuya. They are dressed in Kimono's they have there for the kids to dress up in.

The beautiful Plum blossoms blooming this time of year even though it is still quite cold.
