子供の日 "kodomonohi" in Takayama

"Kodomonohi" is a boy's festival,
typically celebrated on the 5th of May in Japan.

We display a miniature kabuto, a samurai helmet,
and koinobori, carp streamers
to celebrate the day.

I just found out that even "Kodomonohi" is celebrated
one month later, on the 5th of June,
for the late coming of spring, here in Takayama,
just like "Hinamatsuri."

We already have our kabuto out!!
I guess we'll enjoy them for another month!!

ひな祭りと同じで
こちらでは「子共の日」も
一か月遅れで祝うそうです！！

もう兜はとっくに出しましたが、
いつもより長く楽しもうと思います。
