Iizuka Hina Matsuri is one of Japan’s biggest zashikibina (hina dolls arranged around a miniature festival scene)! At the old Residence of Ito Denemon, which was recently designated as a national important cultural property in December 2020, the 20 tatami mats of the tatami room are decorated with Hina dolls, the largest in Japan. This year’s theme is “Colorful Hina Dolls: Japanese Festivals that Excite the Heart,” and the dolls will depict the lively enjoyment of festivals such as Yamakasa in Hakata, Nebuta in Aomori, and Danjiri Festival in Kishiwada, Osaka.
