May 5 is kodomo-no-hi.Originally it was called Boy's Festival and was for celebrating boy's growing up,but now it has become a day to celebrate children in general.On this day,families with boys set out dolls for the Boy's Festival,patterned after warriors and heroes,and fly carp streamers.
Koi are belived to be fish capable of climbing upstream against rapid currents and overcoming all manner of obstacles,and they are thus taken as a symbol of the strength,courage and patience to accomplish major goals.
From this comes the custom in Japan for boys to pray that they will take after koi and live their lives strongly and of hanging out carp streamers,shaped like koi,on May 5,Children's Day.
