In Japan, as May 5 approaches (Children's Day), "carp streamers" are displayed outdoors.
"Carp streamers" are streamers that resemble a carp, and they celebrate the growth of boys.
There is a legend where a carp climbs a waterfall and becomes a dragon, and so it’s treated as a symbol of success.
It is also in Japanese culture to celebrate the growth of girls with the festival “hinamatsuri”.
