Golden week and Koinobori
21st April 2005
Today it was raining all day in Tokyo. It was also busy day for me; Raj also seemed to be busy, as we are making a new HP to improve our customer service.Very soon it will be the time of Golden week in Japan. One of the days is the festival of Children’s day on May 5. In Japanese culture we decorate our houses with carp streamers called as Koinobori. Since carp is a symbol of strength because of its ability to flow agaist the stream, the koinobori is considered as somethig which brings good luck and prays for the growth of a child. My son is now 2 years old. So I hope he grows up strong. You can see here pictures of koinobori on the top of my house.
