After the Meiji Restoration (1868) many Japanese traditional festivals and events were criticized as obsolete. The five seasonal festivals (Go Sekku) were one of them. Go Sekku were abolished in 1873 due to adoption of the solar calendar. One of them, Rina Matsuri (or Doll's Festival, Girl's Day), celebrated each year on March 3rd, has also been subjected to a critique. Yet from the 1890s it had been gradually restored and became one of the most famous national events in Modern Japan. This paper discusses the development of Rina Matsuri from private family celebration, which it was in the Edo Period and the Early Meiji Period, to an event of national significance. In Modern Japan Rina Matsuri was celebrated not only among family members, but also in kindergartens, schools, public facilities and government offices. Also, the purpose of the celebration partly shifted from praying for girls'health to educational matters, such as instilling to young girls a good sense of fashion, ability to cook and decorate the room for the festivities, to entertain the gests. Moreover, from the Taisho Period Japanese educators and teachers started to describe the decoration of Rina Dolls (Dairi Bina) as a symbol of marital fidelity, monogamous marriage and even as a way to teach children about reverence for the Emperor and the country. New meanings of the traditional festival not only enhanced its restoration, but also made it one of the most important and well known national events.
