Koyomikaikan [Official]. @koyomikaikan This is a museum of yin-yang and calendars in the southernmost part of Fukui Prefecture. The Tsuchimikado family, descendants of the famous yin-yang master Abe no Seimei, lived in the Nata-sho area during the Warring States period.

The Hina Matsuri (Girls' Festival) appears in the Tale of Genji, which is considered to be the oldest Japanese tale. It is believed that people over the age of ten do not play with dolls. It used to be written in the Tale of Genji that it was something girls up to the age of ten did, and that they dressed and played with a plump doll called crawling child. It is said that the dolls were used to purify the world by transferring all kinds of abominations to them. The events that are done with Ichimatsu-ningyo (checkerboard dolls) in later times can be said to be the remnants of this custom.

The tansy rice cake has long been used in Japan and China. It is said that soaking peach blossoms in sake and drinking them on this festival day will remove illnesses and enrich the complexion. However, the peach blossoms used should be single-petalled. If 1,000-petalled ones are used, nosebleeds will occur, and white peaches are said to be abhorrent as they cause belching.　from National Treasure "Dai-zousho" (1837)

Hina Matsuri: Girls Day in Japan by Savvy Tokyo

On March 3rd every year, Japan celebrates a festival that is dedicated to girls and their hopes for a bright and happy future.

A day on which Japanese households with young daughters decorate their homes with ornamental dolls (hina dolls) disposed on red-cloth covered platforms. The dolls are said to be representing the emperor, empress, attendants, and musicians in traditional court dress of the Heian Period.

Hinamatsuri is said to have begun as a custom to ward off evil demons and pray for a prosperous and healthy future. In one of its earliest indirect mentions in the Tale of Genji, it is said that the third day of the third month is a purification day, on which people were to transfer evil spirits into dolls and release them into rivers and oceans.

Back in those days, people believed that dolls had the ability to contain bad spirits. Households with girls made hina ningyo or hina dolls, out of straw and sailed them down the river in boats, supposedly taking all the potential misfortunes with them. This practice is known as hina nagashi.

Nowadays, most families with daughters will decorate their homes with usually five to seven-tiered platforms of hina dolls. The decorations start in mid to late February and are kept until the end of March 3.

Families take the decorations down immediately after Hinamatsuri as superstition claims that keeping the dolls up past March 4 will result in a late marriage for the daughters. In some areas of Japan, people still release paper dolls in water after the holiday, praying for health and good luck.

March Soaps!

Hishi Mochi for Hina Matsuri / Girl's Day Festival on March 3rd.

Snow Drop, an attempt at a drop swirl that turned into splash swirl with a whisk because the batter thickened up too quickly.

Sakura Cherry Blossom soap because of course, and its almost Cherry Blossom season!

And finally Cheshire Cat because two of my soaps from last month were also Alice in Wonderland themed, and I needed to test out all my new purple micas with my recipe, so stripes it was.

February Soaps (cause tumblr is being a butt and struggling with letting me upload pictures) Mad Hatter's Mystic/Poisoned Tea and Topsy Turvey Bonsai. Both attempts at the Soap Challenge Club, and both not what I wanted but smell delicious.

The other February soaps were chocolate boxes, but they were melt and pour and didn't sell very well, but I had a really fun time making them!

Challenges and Hina Matsuri

When you feel too confident, you will come across something that challenges you.

At least that’s what I learned at the last tea ceremony class. I got used to usucha temae in the last month. And even practicing koicha last time felt quite ok-ish for how long I haven’t done it. But this time I got to practice a koicha nagao temae with an oimatsu chaire.

Sounds as specific as it was. A nagao temae is a koicha temae using a shifuku (tea caddy pouch) with a long cord. An oimatsu chaire in addition is a chaire that is mad of old pine tree and has a half split lit. Here is what I learned:

I should learn the order of yohosabaki (some kind of checking the fukusa before a koicha temae). You need it for every koicha temae and I should get the basics done, if I feel so confident lol.

Handling the nagao shifuku is really difficult. I did it the second or third time now. I know the overall order, but none of the movements feel right and I make a lot of mistakes. I wish I could practice it more.

Half split lits are hard to handle. It gets easier each time. But I always have at least one blunder.

When you open the oimatsu chaire you put your left thumb on the middle of the left half of the lit. Then you open the lit and rest the right have on top of your thumb.

Kneading koicha is a long and slow process. The emphasis is on slow!

Besides all of that, hina matsuri is around the corner. One this occasion we had some hina matsuri utensils like futaoki in shape of the laterns, a chawan with the emperor’s couple and a wall scroll with a drawing of the couple.

The other day I also went to see some hina matsuri decorations at a nearby traditional Japanese house. I thought it’s a good occasion to share a picture of that (and my favorite little decoration detail) as well 🎎
