Traditional Japanese custom


Lots of carps swim in Japanese sky.
We have an annual event, in which some cloth carps are hoisted to the peak on May 5th.
These carps are called Koi-nobori.

May 5th is the national holiday named children' s day.
There is a song of Koi-nobori in Japan.
According to the song, these carps are a family, and the big one is their father.

I found out a movie about Koi-nobori on YouTube.
And more detailed information is here.
