Kodomo no Hi (Day 125)

Omars_high-pass_filter_photo_effect
Every May 5, it is Children's Day or Kodomo-no-hi (originally known as Boy's Day)...it is now a celebration of all children. Families fly koinobori banners in the shape of a carp (a type of fish) for each child in their house. Until 1948, May 5 was called Tango no sekku and only honored boys...but for many families, May 5th still centers on boys!
