Tango no Sekku


Carp kite heads Posted by Picasa

Was wondering about the appearance of the carp kites on the zombees and found out that May 5th is Children's Day in Japan but more of a Boys' festival since the girls already have their own earlier in March. Families with boys fly huge carp-shaped streamers (koinobori) outside the house and display dolls of famous warriors and other heroes inside.

Well this Tag Friends thing is a rather educational toy from the looks of it :)

Update:

Mero Park has a carp kite too!
