    Tokyo, Japan - Children's Day Festival - Carp Kites

    Children's Day in Japan, held on May 5th. A time for families to celebrate the joy of a child, a tradition celebrated since ancient times. May 5th was traditionally a boy's holiday known as Tango no Sekku, when boys would fly carp-shaped flags and streamers, called koinobori (as depicted on this card). The family flies one carp flag for each son. The eldest son gets the largest flag and the youngest gets the smallest. There is also a black carp flag for the father and a red carp flag for the mother. Date: circa 1910s

            A family celebrating their child

            The boys are probably brothers with their older sister. They wear haori coats and hakama trousers. The woman holding the younger brother on her knees is probably the mother and the woman on the right her mother-in-law. A woven bamboo basket containing rice cakes or perhaps chimaki dumplings is nearby. This is probably a photograph to commemorate a Meiji Period Shichi-go-san children's day festival, because the padded clothing indicate early winter.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number94‐2‐0]

A two-story Western-style building of yosemune-zukuri style stands on the northeast side of the street where cherry blossoms would later become a tourist attraction. The Nishiyama Mountain Range is faintly visible in the background.==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number52‐32‐0]
