Hina Matsuri is the name of a holiday in Japan. A translation of the holiday
is "Doll Festival", but the festival is really a celebration for young girls.
Part of the celebration is eating "chirashi sushi" which consists of sushi
rice with various toppings including shrimp, salmon eggs, regular eggs,
among other things. It is traditionally made in the bowl shown in this photo
which we bought at a nearby Japanese market.
