The Peach Orchard (The Third Dream) by Akira Kurosawa
The next dream, The Peach Orchard, takes place on Girls' Day as Kurosawa's elder sister is celebrating Hina Matsuri, the Doll Festival, with her friends. In this celebration, which takes place in the spring when the peach trees are in blossom, girls display collections of dolls that represent Japanese royalty. The young Kurosawa notices that one of his sister's guests is absent, and when her apparition appears to him, he follows her into the garden, where the doll collection has come to life. They chastise him because his family has cut down the peach orchard, destroying the flowers that symbolize the celebration.
