Previous person near beginning of thread is CORRECT that it is based off of a holiday.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinamatsuri
Hinamatsuri (雛祭り Hina-matsuri), also called Doll's Day or Girls' Day, is a special day in Japan.[1] Celebrated each year on March 3,[2] platforms covered with a red carpet-material are used to display a set of ornamental dolls (雛人形 hina-ningyō) representing the Emperor, Empress, attendants, and musicians in traditional court dress of the Heian period.[3]

PLEASE READ and move on folks.
Then why did they take the dolls out of the event?
