The Doll Floating Ceremony is a charming cultural ritual linked to Japan’s Hinamatsuri (Doll Festival), held to welcome spring and pray for the health and happiness of children, especially girls. Participants set dolls or nagashi-bina figures afloat on water in a symbolic act of gently carrying away bad luck and impurities, embodying centuries-old traditions of purification and well-wishing. The ceremony offers a peaceful, picturesque glimpse into Japanese seasonal customs and festive spirit.
