To celebrate Golden Week and Children's Day, the local community of Kumano City in Mie Prefecture installed around 250 carp streamers along the coast.
Kodomo no Hi, Japan's Children's Day, is celebrated on May 5th with flying carp streamers symbolizing family success. Formerly known as Boy's Day.
It’s not just the skies that are decorated for Children’s Day. Divers in Wakayama Prefecture are entertained by carp decorations gently swaying with the tide.
