Many years ago,people did not have beautiful dolls like we do today.
They used to make their own dolls out of grass or paper,say prayers,and
float them down the river or sea. This was called gNagashi-binah.
Because this was done around the time peach flowers bloom,
it has come to be calledgMomo no Sekkuh,
but it used to be called gJoshi no Sekkuh.
Displaying dolls indoors became a practice quite a while later.
