#MacroMondays - #Macro Mondays - #FillTheFrame - #Fill the frame
There are so many wonderful things, we all can fill our frames with. Family, love, joy, nearness and many many more. Perhaps the benefit of the situation during the last month is, that we are remembering those things more. I wish it to all with all my heart. Besides I wish all the children a great international children's day (June 1st.)
Es gibt so viele wundervolle Dinge mit denen wir alle unseren Lebensrahmen füllen können. Familie, Liebe, Freude, Nähe und vieles vieles mehr. Vielleicht hat die Situation der letzten Monate den großen Vorteil, dass wir uns alle mehr darauf besinnen. Ich wünsche es allen von ganzem Herzen. Außerdem wünsche ich allen Kindern einen tollen internationalen Kindertag (1. Juni).
Der Kindertag, auch Weltkindertag, Internationaler Kindertag oder Internationaler Tag des Kindes, ist ein in über 145 Staaten der Welt begangener Tag, um auf die besonderen Bedürfnisse der Kinder und speziell auf die Kinderrechte aufmerksam zu machen.
Children's Day
At the Childrens Day on May 5th, carp streamers known as "Koinobori" are hung to celebrate the boys, who are supposed to grow as strong as the carps that can swim upstreams.
Fortunately, this photo was introduced on Flickr Blog!!
In Turkey, Children's Day is celebrated on April 23rd. Atatürk's biggest gift for children. Also this is the symbolic day of lining up the TBMM(Grand National Assembly of Turkey).
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was the one who started Children's Day in Turkey. After the Ottomans had fallen during World War I Turkey had been occupied by other European countries such as England, Italy and France. Ataturk was a commander who gave his army courage. After a while they fought against the Europeans and just like the Ottomans, they slowly took back control of their country. After Turkey was back in control of the Turkish people there was an election and Ataturk won the election. He started to build up the government and create what is today the Republic of Turkey.
Ataturk loved children and he often said: "Children are a new beginning of tomorrow". He even dedicated the day 23rd of April to the children which is today celebrated as Children's Day as well as the date when the Republic of Turkey was founded.
On April 23rd People from many countries from all countries all over the world and people from different countries give each other gifts. The United Nations participates and many people consider this a day of peace. Everybody wears their best clothes and shoes. The people who come celebrate and even do performances such as: national anthems, folk dances and many other things that are related to their countries.
There is no school so children enioy the day by celebrating by going to certain places.
🎏 Koinobori, meaning 'carp streamer' in Japanese, are carp-shaped windsocks traditionally flown in Japan to celebrate Tango no sekku (端午の節句), a traditional calendrical event which is now designated as Children's Day (子供の日, Kodomo no hi), a national holiday in Japan. Koinobori are made by drawing carp patterns on paper, cloth, or other nonwoven fabric. They are then allowed to flutter in the wind. They are also known as satsuki-nobori (皐のぼり).
Children's Day takes place on May 5, the last day of Golden Week, the largest break for workers and also a week in which many businesses, state schools, and some private schools close for up to 9–10 days for the designated national holidays. Landscapes across Japan are decorated with koinobori from April to early May, in honor of children for a good future and in the hope that they will grow up healthy and strong.
A typical koinobori set consists of, from the top of the pole down, a pair of arrow-spoked wheels (矢車, yaguruma) with a ball-shaped spinning vane, a mounting windsock (吹流し, fukinagashi), and finally the koinobori. For the windsock above the koinobori, two main kinds are used: the five-colored windsock (五色吹流し), based on the five elements of Chinese philosophy, and patterned windsocks (柄物吹流し), often featuring a mon (家紋, family crest). The number and meaning of the carp streamers or koinobori that fly beneath the windsock has changed over time. Traditionally, the set would contain a black koinobori representing the father, followed by a smaller, red koinobori representing his eldest son. This is why, according to the Japanese American National Museum, in the traditional "children's song," the red one (higoi) represents the eldest son. If more boys were in the household, an additional blue, green, and then, depending on the region, either purple or orange koinobori were added. After the government's decree that converted Boy's Day (Tango no Sekku) into the present Children's Day (Kodomo no Hi), the holiday came to celebrate the happiness of both boys and girls. As a result, the red koinobori came to represent the mother of the family and it is not uncommon for the color to be varied as pink. Similarly, the other colors and sizes of carp came to represent all the family's children, both sons and daughters.
At present, the koinobori are commonly flown above the roofs of houses with children, with the biggest (black) koinobori for the father, next biggest (red or pink) for the mother, and additional smaller carps of a different color for each child in decreasing order by age.
Koinobori range from a few centimetres to a few metres long. In 1988, a 100 m (330 ft) long koinobori weighing 350 kg (770 lb) was made in Kazo, Saitama.

Carp streams
Today is a holiday in Children's Day. In late years I came to rarely which the the carp streamer. The carp streamers are given the family where a child was bone for this one year as a celebration.
It is a wish that I want you to bring up like a carp living long well. It's one of Japanese old custom.
