Making Japanese Fish Kites - February 2022

HISTORY OF CHILDREN’S DAY IN JAPAN

Children’s Day falls on the fifth day of the fifth month, May 5. The Japanese celebrate Kodomo no Hi, Children’s Day. This day is set to honour children’s strength and happiness. Children’s Day is a national holiday to celebrate all children in a family. The Japanese Fish Kite is an important part of the Children’s Day celebration in Japan.

Although it is only February, we had great fun making and flying our Japanese Fish Kites.
