After the Hinamatsuri 2024

One year has passed since last year’s Hinamatsuri “Return to the DIA,” and this year marks the 10th anniversary of the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA)’s revitalization, so we held a Hinamatsuri entitled “For Re-Birth of DIA.” It was held.


The event was held on March 3rd, with good weather and a large number of visitors. Families were seen enjoying making things at three popular workshop venues: “Ikebana”, “Strawberry Daifuku”, and “Papermaking”.
