Description :

The Carp has always been regarded for its determination and strong will . This notion of the carp being a symbol of strength and tenacity can be traced back to a legend in China where a saying goes that a carp can swim against the current up the fast - flowing Hwang Ho river to become a dragon . They are frequently shown in Japanese artwork as swimming up waterfalls or strong river currents .

Throughout all of Japan , the Koi Nobori is displayed across the yards of each family &# 39 ; s home , about a week before May 5th to a week after . On Japanese Boy &# 39 ; s day , May 5th of each year these wind socks are flown in celebration of the safety , health and strength of the boys of each family in Japan . The colorful sight ( especially when viewed from the Train ) is incredible as they are seen strewn across the countryside .

& quot ; Colorful carp streamers & quot ; are famous symbol to celebrate & quot ; Children &# 39 ; s day & quot ;. Many parents display them hoping that children will grow up with courage and wisdom .
