CHILDREN'S DAY

May 5 is children's day. Originally it's called Boy's Festival and for celebrating boys' growing up, but now it has become a day to celebrate children in general. Most of families with boys set out Boy's Festival dolls, patterned after warriors and heroes, and fly carp streamers. Carp have the strength to even swim up waterfalls and have long been taken as symbols of success in life. The day also features the practice from long ago of taking a bath with flag, reputed to have medicinal effect, and it is also essential to make an offering of the traditional Japanese confections of rice cakes wrapped by bamboo leaves.
