Koinobori

Yane yori takai Koinobori ~♪ This is a very famous song.

Koinobori (carp banner), hung on flagpole is one of the symbols for Kodomonohi (Children's day, 5th May), which is for hoping to boy's healthy growth.

Shobu (ires) is also symbol of this season. It is tradition that putting shobu leaves in the bath on Kodomonohi. It was thought it makes the family stay healthy.
