Children's Day in Japan is May 5. We learned about Children's Day and how the Japanese use this day to celebrate the vitality, health, and personalities of their children. The Japanese celebrate this by making carp koinobori flags. The carp are a symbol of strength. The students made koinobori and added some little flags underneath to celebrate Children's Day. This coincides with our gyotaku prints (not pictured, sorry!) and our upcoming underwater fishy pictures. :) Happy Children's Day!
