If you see fish-shaped streamers
flying outside of people's houses, it means it is getting close to the May 5th
festival. May 5th has been made a national holiday called "Children's
Day". Families with sons all over Japan wish for the boys' (as opposed to
the celebration for girls on Mar 3rd) health and prosperity by setting out
GOGATSU NINGYO (samurai warrior dolls and their ornaments) inside the houses
and hoisting KOINOBORI (carp-shaped streamers) outside. In the old days, there
was a custom involving "shobu" (iris) that originated in China.
During the 12th or 13th century the word "shobu" came to be
associated with its homonym meaning "military spirit", and people
started decorating paper samurai helmets with irises in hopes that their boys
will become courageous soldiers later in life and this custom evolved into
what we call GOGATSU NINGYO (or MUSHA NINGYO) in the mid- Edo period. ..
