The Jodo Mission in Hawi is getting ready to celebrate Children’s Day. This traditional Japanese holiday was known as Boy’s Days, celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month, while Girl’s Day was celebrated on March 3, the third day of the third month. These days, there’s a push to celebrate both as Children’s Day on May 5th. One of the features is the flying of carp-shaped windsocks. There will also be gifts and special treats.
The windsock photo is posted for Bushboy’s Last on the Card challenge. See more responses here.

What a great kite and, while I don’t support girl’s day, boy’s day or children’s day (or mothers and fathers days ), I like the harmony of 3/3 and 5/5.

Koi Carp are better behaved than common carp, and prettier. The Common carp are destroying the habitat of our native fish and eating their foods
