Carp Streamers 鯉幟

The period from the end of April to the beginning of May, this park hangs carp streamers.

In ancient China, a carp were believed to be a dragon when it successfully swims over a hard torrent called Dragon Gate in Yellow River.  The streamers contain a wish for children's healthy growth. 鯉魚跳龍門

    Hello RTC, These streamers/windsocks are very colorful and actually do look like spawning fish.

    One of my best souvenirs that I brought back from Japan is a small wall hanging of carp streamers art. I love it!

    Here there are koi fish in the Japanese Garden of the City of Buenos Aires. I have taken my children for a walk in that park and as a end they made the craft that I send you

    ここにはブエノスアイレス市の日本庭園に鯉がいます。私は生徒たちをその公園に散歩に連れて行き、最後に送った工作をしました。https://youtu.be/dugkr_Fwwug?si=5hdaYiuSeatzTF4o

    I love the symbolism behind the carp streamers! The story of the carp transforming into a dragon after swimming through the Dragon Gate is such a beautiful and inspiring myth. It's fascinating to learn how the tradition is tied to wishing for the healthy growth and success of children. The vibrant carp streamers must create a stunning scene, especially during this time of year. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate hope and resilience. Thank you for sharing this meaningful tradition!

    On a related note, I recently wrote a post about body confidence and the importance of nurturing a positive relationship with ourselves. If you're interested, here’s the link: https://www.melodyjacob.com/2025/05/body-confident-you-body-confident-kid-book-review.html

    The carp streamers are pretty, and I always enjoy hearing the stories behind the flowers, buildings, and special places in your area. You make it easy to understand with your words, thank you.

    Congratulation, RTC. We rarely see carp in the river, mostly in the store.
