Enjoying Koinobori

"Koinobori", carp windsocks, carp streamers or carp banners, decorate the landscape of Japan from April through early May, in honor of Children's Day (originally Boys' festival) on May 5.

Koinobori come in a variety of sizes, designs and colors. In Japanese culture, the carp symbolizes courage and strength because of its ability to swim up a waterfall.
