Context & interpretation
This entry concerns the festival passage in Davis, not a complete account of present-day Hina Matsuri. Its date is a source statement, while beliefs about dolls are attributed rather than verified effects. It remains distinct from the preceding tale of an animated doll, and both citations are on one leaf.
