This beautiful Koinobori decorative paper model was created by
Japanese designer Ayako Fujioka, commissioned by
Canon website. Koinobori, meaning "carp streamer" in Japanese, are
carp-shaped windsocks traditionally flown in Japan to
celebrate Tango No Sekku, a
traditional calendrical event which is
now designated a national holiday; Children's Day. These
wind socks are made by
drawing carp patterns on paper, cloth or other nonwoven fabric. They are then allowed to
flutter in the wind. They are also known as
Satsuki-Nobori. Children's Day takes place on
May 5, the
last day of Golden Week, the
largest break for workers and also
a week in which businesses usually close for up to 9–10 days. Landscapes across Japan are
decorated with koinobori from
April to early May, in
honor of children for a
good future and in
the hope that they will grow up healthy and strong.
Este belo modelo de papel decorativo de um Koinoburi foi criado pelo
designer japonês Ayako Fujioka, comissionado pelo
site da Canon. Koinobori, (literalmente, Bandeira de Carpas) é um
costume japonês de comemorar o
Dia dos Meninos em
cinco de maio hasteando
birutas em forma de carpa.
Era comemorada por militares e civis, com os
militares hasteando birutas que
lembram vagamente uma lula e a
plebe hasteando carpas simbolizando
aguerrimento, tenacidade e obstinação, características essas que
os pais apreciariam ver incorporadas em seus filhos varões. O Dia das Crianças é o
desfecho da Golden Week (Semana de Ouro) no
Japão, que junta
três feriados nacionais: o Dia de Showa (29 de abril), o Dia da Constituição (3 de maio) e o Dia das Crianças (5 de maio).
