Welcome to “Iyashi” “Nagomi” secret spot and sightseeing in countryside of Japan !
Hi !
How are you feeling ?
Today, I will introduce “The Doll festival in Taragi” to you.
Around this time of every year, we have this traditional festival which is prepared by residents.
This is the exhibition houses made of local stone. We call it “ISIGURA-stone house”
This stone house was used to be as a storeroom of rice 50-60 years ago.
Are you ready? ... Let’ go inside !
Wow !
What a beautiful decorations are they !!!
That’s a breath taking…
Many many traditional small Japanese balls & cushions from the ceiling.
Of course all of them are “hand-made”
Most families with girls display dolls for the Doll’s Festival called Hina-ningyo.
The dolls depict the imperial court (Heian era)
These “seven stairs style” are more popular ,but too expensive !
How cute !
These "skillful" paper crafts “Hina-ningyo” are from nursery schools in this town.
And next to them
The residents are selling many “hand-made” crafts.
Bags, dolls, sweeties, OMAMORI(charm) and so on.
I hope you like them…and
Why don’t you come & buy some souvenirs as a memorial trip in countryside of Japan ?
