Children’s Day 「kodomo-no-hi, こどもの日」 is on the final day of the 7 day Golden Week public holiday period in Japan.The koi streamers are made like a reverse wind sock, with a small opening at the top end at the mouth of the fish, and a larger opening at the other end, at the koi’s tail fin.

The different coloured koi streamers often have a meaning behind them, black for the father and red for the mother. Around this holiday, families with a son fly the koi streamers in their garden. For these small household streamers, as well as the black and red koi for the father and mother, a smaller coloured koi is flown for each son.


Koi: The Symbol of Children’s Day

The koi is a fish that swims upstream, and can even leap out of the water over small obstacles. In the wind the koi streamers appear to be swimming vigorously upstream. The koi is used as an icon for Children’s Day as it signifies parent’s hopes for their children to be determined and strong, trying with all the vigour of the swimming carp.

These 100cm long Koinobori are the perfect way to bring a little Japan to your home!!

I recently purchased a Wisteria Kokedama (Grown Bonsai) from Spirit of Japan, and I am extremely satisfied with the entire process. The website was user-friendly, the ordering process was seamless, and the product arrived on time and in perfect condition. I had an amazing experience with this company! The customer service from Yuki of Sprit of Japan was top-notch: she promptly provided guidance on growing and maintaining the tree, and the product exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.

My sakura kokedama arrived into Australia without any problem. So pleasantly surprised. The kokedama was wrapped in a nice moist blanket and the moss ball remained very well moistured. Of course, any realistic plant lover should not expect the plant to look like the photo shown in the catalogue but it’s important to have a target in life. My enquiries are always very promptly answered by Yuki-san. Thank you very much. Overall, surprisingly happy purchase experience.
