"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.
