Tuesday, May 5th was Boy's Day in Japan (and in Los Osos). And in Japanese tradition we hung our "Koinobori" carp streamer outside our house. Each young boy living in the house gets a carp flag and they are hoisted for weeks around May 5th to symbolize courage and ambition and recognizes the tale of the carp who swam all the way to heaven to become a dragon. Thank you to Yuka who gave us the Koinobori and shared her wisdom about the tradition.
