What is the “carp streamer” displayed on “Children's Day”?

On Children's Day on May 5th, “carp streamers” are fried all over Japan.

Seeing the colorful carp streamers fluttering in the sky makes you feel majestic.

The “carp streamer” is said to have started in the Edo period in Japan, and is one of Japan's historic customs.

The “carp streamer” displayed on “Children's Day” contains two wishes: “to get ahead in life” and “to grow healthy and strong.”

What do the colors and numbers of “carp streamers” mean?

Common carp streamers come in 3 colors: black, red, and blue.

In the Edo period when carp streamers appeared, they were only black, but red was added in the Meiji period and blue were added in the Showa period, making them the current 3 colors.

What the three colors of koi represent are black for dad, red for mom, and blue for children.

In recent years, things with green, pink, orange, yellow, etc. underneath blue have also appeared. TOKYO SKYTREE TOWN As the number of children increases, it seems that there are also households that decorate by increasing the number of carp, such as making green the second son and pink the eldest daughter.
