Koinobori Carp Streamers - Traditional Japanese Children’s Day Decorations #112797 (License: Personal Use)

This illustration shows three classic koinobori (carp-shaped windsocks) in blue, red, and green, each featuring stylized scales and expressive eyes, mounted on a tall pole with a golden orb finial. Above them flutter smaller streamers in blue, red, and yellow-the colors representing the family hierarchy and wishes for boys’ strength and perseverance. These decorations are traditionally flown outside homes during Japan’s Kodomo no Hi (Children’s Day) on May 5th.
