    What real life event is this supposed to mimic anyway?
    Spring, but with peach blossoms instead with cherry blossoms
    Ok, found it. It can be this japanese event:
    Doll Festival (雛祭り Hina-matsuri?)

    Date: March 3

    Other Names: Sangatsu Sekku (3rd month Festival), Momo Sekku (Peach Festival), Joshi no Sekku (Girls' Festival)

    Information: This is the day when families pray for the happiness and prosperity of their girls and to help ensure that they grow up healthy and beautiful. The celebration takes place both inside the home and at the seashore. Both parts are meant to ward off evil spirits from girls. Young girls put on their best kimonos and visit their friends' homes. Tiered platforms for hina ningyō (hina dolls; a set of dolls representing the emperor, empress, attendants, and musicians in ancient court dress) are set up in the home, and the family celebrates with a special meal of hishimochi (diamond-shaped rice cakes) and shirozake (rice malt with sake).
    Or something total different again. Only the name "Peach Festival" refers to the coming event.

    17th february 2011 was the first time of the event.

    It was also the last "bell" event ^^

    The next event after this should be the Hatching-tide event

    Oh, please. Valentine is a very big deal in Japan.
