These carp banners are traditionally flown from long poles on Boy’s Day. Carp are believed to be a strong breed of fish that can swim upstream and overcome any obstacle that gets in their way. For this reason, they are seen as a symbol of the strength, bravery and patience needed to achieve goals. In Japan, we fly these carp banners on Boy’s Day as a symbol of our prayers that the children will follow the carp’s example and live their lives strongly and boldly.
