"Power to the Women"

Happy Hina Matsuri!
"Hina Matsuri", or "Doll Festival",
is sometimes called "Girl's Day",
and rightfully so.
Today is the day magnificent dolls
are displayed in all their regality
on stairsteps.

Don't you worry, boys,
there's a day for you, too.
"Kodomo no Hi", or "Children's Day",
is coming up in May.
Can you guess its nickname?
I'll give you a hint:
instead of pretty dolls,
they fly carp kites.
