Kodomo no hi - The Children's day-

This is the last day of Golden week today, and at the same time, Kodomo no hi-The Children's day-
The Children's day is also called the Boy's Festival.
We celebrate boy's good luck and safe growing up with placing armors and Koinobori (carp-shaped streamer)

Also we have so many events for this day at many places in Japan.
For example, Shiohigari (shelfish gathering) , Riding horse experience, Fuji festival(wisteria festival) and so on.
Parents take their children to these events and pray for their sound growth and development with seeing their smiles.
