KOINOBORI(鯉のぼり)


5th of May is Japanese public holiday called "Children's day".
Koinobori steamer appears from the end of April by families with sons. Traditional name of Children's day is "Tango-no-Sekku" which means boys day.


The parents wish the growth of their sons like the carp swim upstream against the current with the toughness, the fearless and the persistent.

It has origin of farmer's custom to drive off the insects  the appearing in May from 
the craps from with erecting the banner.
