Yesterday was Children’s Day in Japan. It is a holiday for children, but mostly we consider it a holiday for boys. It is traditional to fly ‘carp kites’ over homes that have male children.
Carp kites look like wind socks. They are decorated like Japanese carp. When I was a small boy, I had a carp kite.
Someday I hope to have a son. I will buy him a carp kite and fly it proudly.
