May 5th is the national children day in Japan 
and children are respected and honored for their individual strengths and happiness is wished upon them. On this national holiday, is possible to see carp flags (or Koinobori) outside homes and in various public places across the country, too ( In Japanese folklore, the carp is a symbol of symbol of determination and vigor, overcoming all obstacles to swim upstream). Such a beautiful sight 
.
Let's dive in this topic !!
Families celebrating Kodomo no Hi will also decorate their homes with a samurai armor (鎧） and a helmet miniatures （兜）, representing their wishes to raise strong and powerful boys.
Of course there are traditional food made for this important occasion, like chimaki (a rice cake made out of steamed sticky rice), mochigome and kashiwamochi.
Origins: Until 1948, May 5 was originally known as Tango no Sekku ( 端午の節句 ） literally nearing the seventh sign of the chinese zodiac, but usually translated as Boys Day. The holiday was officially changed to celebrate the health and growth of both girls and boys in 1948.
