Kodomi no Hi, Japanese Children's Day, is celebrated on May 5. On this special day for children, they celebrate their birthday, play games and read exciting stories to their parents. Get to know this special children's party during the May holidays!
Parents decorate their homes with koi carp windsocks for Children's Day. These strong fish symbolize strength, they are so strong that they can even swim against the current! By hanging these waving fish flags as visibly as possible, an attempt is made to attract the attention of the gods. They can ensure that the children become as strong and brave as a koi carp. Get started in the Atelier and make your own colorful koinobori that you can hang at home!
