Happy Children's day ! (Kodomo no Hi) 🎏
The 5th of may is Children's day in Japan. Originally boys' day, it became the national holiday for all children in 1948. For that occasion, people hang carp shaped streamers from their balconies, one for each parent and children. On this day, people eat sweets wrapped in oak and bamboo or iris leaves called Kashiwa Mochi and Chimaki.
