Mar.3rd is celebrated as the Girl's Day,or the Festival of Dolls.
(in my region,one month earlier)
People display graceful dolls in ancient court costumes on a tier of 
7 shelves covered with scarlet cloth.
These dolls represent the Emperor and Empress, the court ladies, the ministers and the court musicians.
The girls are expected to be as elegant as these courtly ladies.

Young girls wear their beautiful Kimono and get together before the display and have a good time, eating sweet rice crackers and drinking white sake.

It is also known as the Peach Festival.
