May 5th is Boy’s Day. Along with celebrating the birth of the children, we display armor and helmets and banners of carp to represent the desire that they grow up as wise and healthy children. We have been doing lots of different activities in our classes to celebrate this holiday. We have quite the collection of carp banners!
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.
