Boy's May Festival Dolls
The tradition of Boy's Day originated in the Nara period (710 CE–794 CE). By the Edo period (1603 CE–1868 CE), May 5th had become a holiday and was established as Tango-no-Sekku. During this period, the festival became widely celebrated among the common people of Edo, and dolls began to be used as decorations.
