May 5th is Kodomonohi, or Childrens' Day in Japan. We put up a pole with flying carp on our yard or display a Gogatsu Doll in our house to celebrate our boy's healthy growth. (It's just opposite the Girls' Day on March 3rd.)
We went to see huge flying carp over Sagami River. The view was just so gorgeous!!
"Boys, Be Ambitious!!"
My parents, or Gen's grand parents in Okayama, sent us a beautiful Gogatsu Doll with samurai warrior helmet when Gen got one year old, so we display the doll during the Golden Week. Gen really loves to watch him, sitting strait in front of him.
On the day, we got a cake and let Gen have some yummy fun!
