ひな祭展＠倉　ornaments for Hina Matsuri, the girl's festival

茨城県常陸太田市にあるオープンギャラリー倉にて３月１日から始まるひな祭展を一足お先に拝見させていただきました。中に飾られているすべての吊るし雛はこのギャラリーとお隣の雑貨店オーナー小泉さんのお母さんと叔母さんの作品です。倉の中いっぱいに飾られた吊るし雛と装飾品はとても華やかで暖かみある空間を作りだしていました。
また小泉さんのお母さんには今回frumafar.の生地でオリジナル吊るし雛を作っていただきました。次回のブログにてご紹介予定です♪

I visited the gallery which renovated an old warehouse in Hitachi Ota, Ibaraki in order to see the show of ornaments for the girl's festival called Hinamatsuri.
On March 3rd., we celebrate our Girl's Festival. It's also known as the "Peach Tree Festival" because the flowers bloom around that time. The festival is held to pray for young girls' health and happiness. Families with young girls display beautiful doll sets, peach trees, shiro-zake,white sweet rice wine, and hishi-mochi, diamond-shaped rice cake.

All Tsurusi Hina hanging ornaments were made by the mother and aunt of the gallery's owner. The ornaments are made of a great variety of fabrics and strings. They make the inside of the warehouse look so bright and gorgeous for girls!
