Flying Carp Streamer

I know we are very lucky to have so many holidays. And this is called golden week in Japan. There isn't actually a celebration on any of the holidays above except for Children's day.

Actually it's more than boy's day than children's day. March 3rd is girl's day where little girls dress up in kimonos. On Children's day there will be many flying carp streamers called "Koinobori" in Japan. Since carps are thought to be a dragon as it grows, parents wish for their children to grow up to be healthy and strong like a dragon. Families with boys also decorates their houses with armor or samurai dolls during this occasion.
