Carp Kites


In Japan families celebrate Tango no Sekku.
Large carp kites, called koinobori, are displayed outside houses.
On the link below you will be able to listen to a traditional song for

Tango no Sekku called the Koinoburi Song.


We will be designing our own carp kites so do some research and find out more about them.
Try to find answers to questions like:
What is a carp?
When does this celebration take place?
What houses display carp kites?
What does the carp symbolise?
Post what you find out in a comment and if someone
thinks that your post is helpful you will get TBs.

  1. There is a carp kite for each boy in the family the oldest would have his at the top.
    The carp kite repersents courage and perseverance as the fish is known for it's strength and determination as it swims against the current.
