You can read all about Boys' Day (now more commonly called Children's Day ) here.
I still call it Boys' Day...because I don't think it's very fair to have a separate Girls' Day...but boys have to share their day.
Anyway, I drove by this display of carp flags and had to come back to get some photos.
I still go back and forth about getting our own set of boy flags. Maybe next year.
Anyway, since this was the third in a string of three holidays in a row that comprise Golden Week, mostly I spent the day being annoyed that I couldn't conduct some business that I needed to, since all the offices shut down for three freaking days in a row!
Other than that, I bought my boys some gimmicky Boys' Day treats and called it good. Oh, and I bought some for Coree, too. I figured it was only fair since she had to share her Girls' Day cake with them.
Happy Kodomo no Hi, everyone!
