Traditionally in Japan, May 5th is known as Tango no Sekku, or Boys' Festival Day. Although I think now they have changed the name to "Childrens' Day" (in case you were worried, girls do have their own day on March 3rd, called Hina Matsuri). One of the symbols of springtime in Japan is the Koinobori, a streamer shaped like the koi fish, that is hung in honor of sons, in the hope that they will grow up healthy and strong.
I am away from my two boys this May 5th, but I hope they enjoy this special day!
Here are a few of my favorite photos of Luke and Ian (and koinobori) from the past two weeks:
