Kodomo no Hi, or Children’s Day is a Japanese holiday celebrated on May 5 every year. It is meant to respect children’s individuality and to celebrate their happiness. Kodomo no Hi was deemed a national holiday in 1948 by the Japanese government but has been celebrated for much longer. On this day, families raise ‘koinobori,’ or carp-shaped windsocks, with different colored carps for different members of the family. Before switching over to the Gregorian calendar, the holiday was celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth moon in the Chinese calendar.
