The history of hanging decorations
The custom of hanging hina dolls is a “traditional decoration unique to Inatori” that dates back to the late Edo period. Its origin is unknown, but it is said that an elderly woman born in the Meiji era had been wearing the hanging decoration since she was a child. Therefore, its history is thought to be well over 100 years. It is a custom unique to Inatori that expresses the gentle and warm heart of wishing for the growth of children and grandchildren.
