Kids Create: Koi Nobori
Japanese Koi Wind Sock
Celebrate Japanese culture with us by decorating a traditional koi-shaped windsock for Children’s Day or 子供の日!
On 子供の日 (Kodomo no hi) Koinobori, or cloth carp streamers, are flown on poles outside of public buildings and houses to bring luck and good fortune to the children inside. Koi fish, or Carp, are believed to be strong, spirited fish and are revered for their determination in fighting as they swim upstream and through powerful waterfalls. Koinobori symbolize the desire for children to become brave and strong individuals.
Recommended for ages 5 and up.
