Doll's Grudge (人形の呪い)

doll's
festival
The third of March is a girl’s day (Doll Festival) in Japan. We customarily display a set of ornamental dolls (hina-ningyo) representing the Emperor, Empress, attendants, and musicians in traditional court dress on platforms covered with a red carpet until March 3.
I was too busy to display them, so I displayed only two dolls of Emperor and Empress. The reason that I'm obsessed to display is I’ve heard that something wrong may happened for girls (me) if dolls are kept in a closet. Besides, if we continue displaying them after March 3, girls will become the old maid. lol
I’ve not put them back yet due to rainy days for a couple of days so as not to go moldy. I feel their faces look fierce and they are angry day and day. Uhhh, scary. I gotta put them back…

I was too busy to display them all, so I displayed only two dolls of the Emperor and Empress.
The reason that I'm obsessed about displaying them is that I’ve heard that something wrong may happened for girls (me) if the dolls are kept in a closet.
Besides, if we continue displaying them after March 3, girls will become the old maids.
I’ve not put them back yet as we have had rainy days for a couple of days and I don't want them to go mouldy.
I feel their faces look fierce and they are angry all day long.
雛人形は高いですか。とても美しそうだと思います。

The reason that I'm obsessed about displaying them is because I’ve heard that something bad might happen for girls (me) if the dolls are kept in the closet.
Besides, if we continue displaying them after March 3, we girls will become old maids.
I haven't put them back yet because it rained for the last couple of days and so they might get moldy.
I feel as if their faces look fierce and they are getting angrier every day.
Perhaps this time you might use the word 'curse' = Doll's Curse or 'The Curse of the Dolls'
Doll's Curse (人形の呪い)
The third of March is Girl’s Day (Doll Festival) in Japan.
I was too busy to display them, so I displayed only two dolls of the Emperor and Empress.
The reason that I feel obligated to display is that I’ve heard that something wrong may happened to girls (me) if the dolls are kept in the closet.
Also, if we continue displaying them after March 3, girls will become the old maids.
I haven't put them back yet because it's been raining for the last couple of days and I don't want them to get moldy.
I feel their faces look fierce and they are getting angrier day by day.
Thank you for writing this interesting and funny journal!
The pictures are good too.
