May 5, is Boy's day!!

Today May 5, is Children's day in Japan.
It is a day to respect children's personalities and to celebrate their happiness.

Traditionally the day was called Tango no Sekku (Boy's day) . It was originally for boys but was changed to include both genders.
(March 3, is girl's day)
It is said that this tradition is coming from China.

On this day, families often fly carp streamer flags outside their homes and display Japanese traditional armor and helmet to represent strength and success.



How about your country?
