Koinobori - 'Carp Streamer'

Access

À propos

Koinobori, or Japanese carp streamers, are created in celebration of Children’s Day in Japan on May 5 by drawing fish patterns onto paper or cloth and then hanging the streamers outside to fly in the breeze. Traditionally, a set of koinobori are hung from a pole. The black koinobori, the largest fish windsock, represents the father and is followed by a slightly smaller red or pink koinobori that represents the mother. Other fish decreasing in size and in a variety of colors are hung underneath to represent the children in the family.

These carp streamers can be seen flying around the Richmond Britannia Shipyards during the annual Maritime Festival.

This easy-to-follow creation provides the participants an opportunity to create their own carp streamer using the basic art materials.

Remark: Please include the activity's title 'Koinobori - Carp Streamer' when you register for the event. Feel free to drop by at the front desk, City Centre Community Centre to collect the craft kit and bring home to complete your creation.
