favorite spring scene

The Children's Day is May 5th. It's a day to respect children's personalities and to celebrate their happiness which was desinated a national holiday since 1948.
But the day originally hope of the success in life of the boy of the family. The family display "Koinobori" means "Carp-streamer" (carp-shaped windsocks) in the garden of the house.





By the Chinese legend, many fish were going to climb the waterfall, but only a carp finished climbing it, and become the dragon.Then the carp was assumed a symbol of the success in life.

I rarely watched a carp streamer for reasons of the declining birthrate,the garden is smaller in urban area but I see the carp streamer goes up high around the town here.

The carp-streamer display from mid April to May 5th.(period would be depend on the area.)
