Hina Matsuri Bento Friday!

It's bento Friday!

This Sunday, March 3rd, is Hina-matsuri (Girls' Day) in Japan.

While it is a Japanese tradition for little girls to display beautiful dolls of Heian court-style emperor, empress, and their attendants on this day, we've gathered some Hina-matsuri-themed bentos to celebrate.

See the list of bento supplies on Yahoo auctions.
