The phrase "Kodomo no hi" means Children's Day in Japan. Originally, the celebration of Children's Day was known as Tango no sekku – one of the five annual ceremonies held at the imperial court – and was celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth moon in the Lunisolar calendar. The celebration was initially focused on boys from the Kamakura period in the 12th century to the mid-20th century. In the current times, this commemoration celebrates both girl and boy children with the same enthusiasm and fervour.
The celebration of Children’s Day in Japan is marked by families raising the koinobori, carp-shaped windsock.
