Ancient Japanese folklore tells of the very determined "Koi" carp that strove to reach the top of the rapids of the Yellow River.
Not at all frightened by the local "demons," the Carp fought and, refusing to give up, after nearly 100 years, a single carp finally reached the top of the waterfalls. The Gods smiled in approval of the continuous efforts of this heroic achievement and transformed the fish into an eternal golden dragon.
Koi carp evoke images of energy, power, and courage and have become a symbol of perseverance and resilience in overcoming adversity and fulfilling one's destiny.
In celebration of this legend, on May 5th each year for Children's Day, every Japanese family raises as many paper or cloth carp on the roof as there are children in the house. These poles, named after koi which means "carp," encapsulate all the symbolic values of the festival, celebrated as a wish for physical and spiritual energy, as well as growth and social success.
