Tango no Sekku - Boys' Festival
The May festival celebrating boys and praying for their strength and success.
Tango no Sekku on May 5th celebrates boys with carp streamers (koinobori) flying outside homes, symbolizing strength and perseverance. Families display warrior dolls and samurai helmets, praying for their sons' health, strength, and success in life.
Like the carp that swims upstream, may our sons grow strong and determined.
Tango no Sekku reflects martial values integrated with family blessing rituals.
