High quality, colorful and beautifully detailed Koi Fish Windsocks (Koinobori). Weather and fade resistant fabric. Plastic hoop maintains opening at mouth. Detailed dye-sublimated printed graphics. Koinobori (鯉のぼり), meaning "carp streamer" in Japanese, are carp-shaped windsocks traditionally flown in Japan to celebrate Tango no Sekku (端午の節句), a traditional calendrical event which is now designated as Childress Day (子供の日, Kodomo no hi), a national holiday in Japan. Children's Day takes place on May 5, the last day of Golden Week, the largest break for workers and also a week in which businesses usually close for up to 9–10 days. Landscapes across Japan are decorated with koinobori from April to early May, in honor of children for a good future and in the hope that they will grow up healthy and strong.
