Spring is all about new beginnings. This is a special time for the Japanese as they start the new year full of hope and renewal.

 

This project will consist of 2 parts.

 

Part 1:  Group Project

Create a Hina ningyoo display. No technology, pre-made, copied or otherwise 3rd party created items. Use your creativity, artistic talents, problem solving and work together as a group to complete your display.

 

Part 2:  Individual Research Paper

Present a written essay on the significance of spring, the practices associated with the season, the practices associated with Hinamatsuri focusing on the practice of setting up a hinadan and the influence these things have had on Hawaii's culture.
