お雛祭り

Today is the Hinamatsuri here in Japan, girls day and a festival of dolls. It's a day to pray for young girls growth and happiness.

When compared to all the celebrations I have experienced in the rather short time I have lived here I feel, more then ever, that I don't really have any cultural heritage of my own. I wish I had, something to cherish, something worth teaching my children and grandchildren if I ever have any.
