Over the years, however, it has evolved into a nationwide water fiesta, as revellers come together all across the kingdom to soak each other. As Songkran takes place in April – the hottest month of the year – this is also a wonderful way to cool down and mingle with friendly locals!\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003EThailand's Songkran holidays have been extended this year from 12-16 April.

The wood from sheoaks and other trees was used to produce digging sticks, boomerangs, throwing sticks and other tools.

The dolls are believed to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune to the girls. Hinamatsuri is also called Momo no Sekku (Peach Festival) because peach blossoms are symbolic of the festival and usually start to bloom around this time. Hinamatsuri is one of the five seasonal festivals (gosekku) in Japan, and it has a long history dating back to the Heian era, when noble girls played with dolls and set them adrift in rivers to purify themselves.

This tradition of aristocratic families displaying simple dolls on March 3 (or the third day of the third month in the former lunar calendar) to pray for the health and development of their young girls predates Kyoto becoming the nation’s capital but gained traction during the Heian period (794–1185). In some areas, dolls were set afloat in the sea or on rivers in the belief that they carried away any defilement or bad luck attached to the owner in a custom called nagashibina, which is still observed in parts of Nara and Tottori Prefectures. The dolls and regalia became more ornate over time, and by the middle of the Edo period (1603–1868), Hinamatsuri had become a popular celebration throughout the nation.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgoes0tUWSyhLa04pLo20CGlVSe2SLaXdfXR2enEm_0S3ZhshF51MiVxUIfOJJj9S1sl0vKGY-vCy5n4BcoVTTBQUQlbokyXYdt-Bktp9lOZwc9N9cbOwZbL_ANsPcFyKbvSRxjAK4oatx_82kQTgauET8TtVeSQzWYtfnneUzDXFGFlRmedBwPIv0RxVB3\/s800\/Hinamatsuri-Japan-Oldest-Tradition-Celebrating-Girlhood-02.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Hinamatsuri: Japan’s Oldest Traditional Festival Celebrating Girlhood\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"704\" data-original-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgoes0tUWSyhLa04pLo20CGlVSe2SLaXdfXR2enEm_0S3ZhshF51MiVxUIfOJJj9S1sl0vKGY-vCy5n4BcoVTTBQUQlbokyXYdt-Bktp9lOZwc9N9cbOwZbL_ANsPcFyKbvSRxjAK4oatx_82kQTgauET8TtVeSQzWYtfnneUzDXFGFlRmedBwPIv0RxVB3\/s16000\/Hinamatsuri-Japan-Oldest-Tradition-Celebrating-Girlhood-02.jpg\" title=\"Hinamatsuri: Japan’s Oldest Traditional Festival Celebrating Girlhood\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003EA related custom observed on the same day was Jōshi.

Before this, the gender distinctions of the two festivals were less pronounced, with both celebrating the growth of children. One theory posits that the appearance of iris flowers around Tango no Sekku strengthened the association with the growth of young boys as the Japanese name of the flower, shōbu, is a homophone for a term meaning “military spirit.” Meanwhile, Jōshi, in the form of the Hinamatsuri, became an event for girls.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003EBy the eighteenth century, Hinamatsuri had developed many of the ornate trappings that it is known for today.

However, the edict had limited impact in the face of prevailing social conditions. Infant mortality was a fact of life in the Edo period, and parental desire to assure the health and well-being of their children could not be legislated away. This combined with the native sense of beauty and ornate doll-making techniques of the day make Hinamatsuri a bright and colorful celebration.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003EA recent development is the belief that dolls must be packed away quickly after the festival for fear of impacting young girls’ chances of finding a marriage partner when they grow up.
