What is the custom of Nagashi Hina? [Words of Hinamatsuri(nagashibina)
Dolls used in the event “Hina-nagashi,” which is said to be the origin of Hina Matsuri. Hina-nagashi is an event that began as a way to pray for the health and well-being of children, in which children’s bad luck is transferred to simple dolls made of paper or leaves, and the dolls are then flushed into the river or the sea. Some areas still preserve this custom. Nowadays, the meaning of the event is not so much to transfer the bad luck, but to entrust various wishes to the dolls.
