Two weekends ago I got it wrong. I rested on a Friday before cleaning on a Saturday morning and heading out to the city for a big night out and an activity filled Sunday. I wonder why I was so tired all week... But during the evening out with Julia we stumbled across this sight in Okayama's covered walkway. Men and women were hanging koinobori, or carp streamers, throughout the place in preparation for children's day (known as boy's day until 1948) on May the 5th. This day aims to stress the importance of respecting childrens' character and promotes health and happiness (no clips round the ear on May 5th thank you very much) and children thank their parents for the tender love and kindness they've been given. How sweet.
