Скачать или смотреть Hinamatsuri - Ron Korb - Global Canvas (Official Video)

Hinamatsuri is from flutist Ron Korb's Global Canvas album. Hinamatsuri literally means Doll Festival but is commonly known as Girls' Day it Japan. It is a Shinto festival celebrated in Japan on March 3rd each year. During this event, a series of tiered platforms covered with a red carpet are used to display ornamental dolls. These dolls represent the Japanese Emperor and Empress, along with their attendants and musicians, all dressed in traditional court attire from the Heian period (794–1185).

When I lived in Japan some years ago, I developed a deep appreciation for the various events and traditions that marked each season. My mother, who was born in Prince Rupert, Canada to Japanese parents, had a very basic set in our home.
