Koinobori & Hina Dolls: Japan’s Festivals of Growth & Fortune

THE KIMI KATO SHOW with Jeremiah Featuring Koinobori & Hina Dolls: Japan’s Festivals of Growth & Fortune Today, we’re diving into one of Japan’s most cherished traditional festivals—Momo no Sekku, "Girls’ Day" or Hinamatsuri. (March 3rd) When we think of Japan’s seasonal festivals, most people know about Girls’ Day (Hinamatsuri) and Children’s Day (Tango no Sekku). But did you know these are part of an ancient set of five seasonal celebrations called Go-Sekku (五節句)? Some are still popular, while others have faded into history.  We explore on the show: Jinjitsu no Sekku (人日の節句) – January 7th - "The Festival of Seven Herbs" Momo no Sekku (桃の節句) – March 3rd - "The Festival of Peach Blossoms & Hina Dolls" Tango no Sekku (端午の節句) – May 5th - "Samurai Helmets & Flying Carp – Japan’s Children's Day" Shichiseki no Sekku (七夕の節句) – July 7th - "The Star Festival – A Love Story in the Heavens" Chōyō no Sekku (重陽の節句) – September 9th - "The Forgotten Chrysanthemum Festival" THE KIMI KATO SHOW Host - Kimi Kato Co-Host - Jeremiah D.
