As a small child, I used to think that Japan's Girls' Day (or Dolls' Day)—Hinamatsuri (ひな祭りor 雛祭り)—was actually called 'Princess Day,' as the Japanese word for doll, hina (雛) sounds similar to princess, hime.
Also known as the Doll's Festival, the celebration is marked by families displaying a set of hina dolls in the house.

As the weather warms, and Japan says farewell to winter, another Japanese holiday is right around the corner: It's time for Hina Matsuri!
Hinamatsuri traces its origins to an ancient Japanese custom called hina-nagashi (雛流し, lit. "doll floating"), in which straw hina dolls are set afloat on a boat and sent down a river to the sea, supposedly taking troubles or bad spirits with them.
Hina dolls are displayed in each house where there are young girls and special dishes are eaten on this day.
