Hanging up Koinobori!

Hello world.

Koinobori is a fish made out of fabric that you hang up on a high pole or tree.

Koinobori is a Japanese tradition for boys on the 5th of May every year. We have four different kinds of fish because we are a family of four, it depends how many people are in your family. They're not real fish.

They are very beautiful and your Neighbors are very happy when they see it, well most of the time. The child fish is about 150 cm tall and the color is blue. The mother fish is about 3m tall and it is orange, the father fish is about 4.5m tall and the color is gray, we hang them up because we wish for children to grow strong and healthy like the fish are swimming strongly in the sky.

We usually hang them up Poles but we don’t have enough space to put a pole so we decided to put them on our tree. Not many people in New Zealand know much about it, because this is Japanese tradition.

Do you think they will be for girls as well some day?
