It was believed that dolls would protect people from sickness or ill-fortune.

Today, at the Hina Matsuri, we eat traditional dishes such as scattered sushi (chirashi-sushi), cherrystone clam soup, sweet white sake(shirozake) and rise cake cubes (hina-arare) .

The following is a recipe of cherrystone clam soup using a liquid seasoning Kappo Dashi.
