説明:
On May 5, the Japanese celebrate Boys’ Day by hanging streamers and colorful fish-shaped windsocks which catch the breeze. Derived from Chinese tradition, the carp symbolize the wish for perseverance and success in later life. Made of paper or cloth, a black carp design represents the father while a red one is for the mother; children are represented with other colors. Boys’ Day has in recent years evolved into Childrens’ Day.
