Painting workshop at Kids Earth Home in Tohoku

Painting workshop at Kids Earth Home in Tohoku. Children create their original Koinobori (鯉のぼり), meaning “carp streamer” in Japanese, are carp-shaped wind socks traditionally flown in Japan to celebrate Tango no sekku (端午の節句), a traditional calendrical event which is now designated a national holiday; Children’s Day (Kodomo no Hi, 子供の日). Using different kinds of materials, very unique Koinobori were made.
