Tango-no-Sekku ( The Festival for Boys )
![](line.gif)
May 5th is Children's Day and a festival for boys (Boy's Day) in Japan.
We celebrate boy's healthy growth. Their parents fly long carp-shaped
streamers (Koinobori) from a high pole in the spring breeze and display
warrior dolls inside the house. The carp is a symbol of strength
and power because they never give up to swim up rapid stream and even waterfalls |
