Girls Day is also called the Doll Festival. The Japanese celebrate
it on March 3 (the third of the month). On this day, the girls
parents prepare a table in the best room of their house. They put
a red cloth on the table then they put steps on top of the red
cloth. They arrange a set of fifteen dolls on the steps. Each doll
has its own place on the step. The dolls represent the royal family
in ancient Japan --- emperors, empresses, ministers, and famous
musicians. The emperor and empress are on the top step.
