Carp streamers fly with cherry blossoms

Some 100 carp streamers, koinobori in Japanese, swim beautifully in the air over a river at Watarase valley, Gunma Prefecture, on April 8 amid cherry blossoms that are almost in full bloom. Based on an ancient Chinese legend about a carp that swam upstream and became a dragon, carp have long been a symbol of success in Japan.
