Welcome to Web Page
Hello! Welcome to my page.The photo above is a Kabuto (An armor of head of Samurai in Middle Ages of Japan).Ofcourse this photo is of a miniature of Kabuto.In Japan 5 May is the day of children.It is the day for boys.3 March is the day for girls.Kabuto and Koi-Nobori(Carp Kite)are for boys.Koi-Nobori is as the photo below.
Many Japanese parents want their children to grow well,so they hoist Koi-Nobori in their garden.But now in Japan many people live in apartment houses.They have no garden.We can't see such splendid Koi-Nobori in urban area.
This carp kite is at the parking lot of Japanese restaurant.And the photo below is of an apartment house of Japan.
You see that it is impossible to hoist a large Carp Kite at such houses,don't you ? One third of Japanese people live in such apartment houses now.So Japanese traditional families'events are changing.
