Koinobori


Koinobori, originally uploaded by adelie.

These colorful koi-shaped wind socks are flown traditionally on the national Children's Day, May 5th. For each family household, the largest black koi represents the father and the smaller ones the children (traditionally boys). It's so lovely to see these giant fishes fiercely swimming in the air.
