"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.
CHILDHOOD IS THE MOST AMAZING PART OF LIFE EVER..NO PRESSURE,NO WORRIES,NO STRESS.. JUST WAKE UP , EAT, PLAY,SLEEP AND REPEAT.. JUST WISH A TIME MACHINE SO I CAN GO BACK INTO MINE ..
My only experience of children's day is from Animal Crossing but I really like the carp streamers.
These are folded from murano paper and painted with ink after folding. Definitely need to improve my brush work!

GIORNATA MONDIALE DELL'INFANZIA
With the hope that childhood can be always light as the wingbeat of a butterfly
Con la speranza che l'infanzia possa essere lieve come il battito delle ali di una farfalla
“...Tchê, me perdoa, guri
se te deixei e cresci,
te trocando pela lida...
É que pra sobrevive,r
fui obrigado a crescer,
acossado pela vida...
Não fica triste, guri,
se te deixei e cresci,
trocando o pião pela pá...
Por ser enteado da fome,
eu fui brincar de ser homem,
sem ter tempo pra ser piá...”
Trecho de “Tchê, me perdoa, guri”, de Héber Artigas, "Gaúcho da Fronteira"

Koinobori
Families with boys hang colorful carp kites, called Koinobori, outside their houses - one for each boy, with the biggest representing the oldest boy at the top. The kites flutter in the wind and look beautiful, as you can see in the photo above! In Japanese culture, the carp (or koi) represents courage and perseverance, as the fish is known for its strength and determination as it swims against the current upstream. The carp kite symbolises each family's wish for their sons to grow up brave and strong.
May 5,Children's day (kodomo no hi)
こいのぼりの季節になりました(淺川 八王子）
In Japan May 5th is "Children's Day".This day is celebrated to wish the healthy growth of the boy in family. Carp streamers are flown as symbol of streagth and courrage.
May 5th is Boy's Day in Japan, now it's officially called Children's Day or Kodomo no Hi (March 3rd is Girl's Day). In Japan and Hawaii, it's common to hang these koinobori (carp windsocks) outside your house and have them fly in the wind to celebrate the day. We have three of these koi, each representing one member of our family. The black is the father, the red is the mother, and the small one represents our kid. Next to them (furthest from the camera) is a fukinagashi, which is decorative and often shows off a family symbol. Although half my ancestors came from Japan many generations ago, and we flew a koi or two from time to time in Hawaii, I didn't know much about the tradition until my wife brought it into our lives. #125/366
At the Notting Hill Carnival this weekend, apparently about 7,000 police were on duty. A lot of them were standing in pairs watching the peaceful proceedings on Sunday which is the children's or family day. I think they saw a lot more 'action' on Monday
These two looked particularly relaxed

KOINOBORI OR CARP STREAMERS
Koinobori (鯉幟), meaning "carp streamer" in Japanese, are carp-shaped wind socks traditionally flown in Japan to celebrate Tango no Sekku (端午の節句), a traditional calendrical event which is now designated a national holiday; Children's Day. These wind socks 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 (皐幟).
Children's Day takes place on May 5. Landscapes across Japan are decorated with koinobori from April to early May, in honor of sons and in the hope that they will grow up healthy and strong.
