Carp streamers (koinobori) to celebrate the japanese holiday children day at the Jardin d'acclimatation - Paris (France)
Koinobori, meaning "carp streamer" in Japanese, are carp-shaped wind socks traditionally flown in Japan to celebrate Tango no Sekku, a traditional event which is now designated a national holiday : Children's Day on May 5. Landscapes across Japan are decorated with koinobori from April to early May, in honor of sons and in the hope that they will grow up healthy and strong.
