The project takes inspiration from the famous Japanese May 5 holiday named "Koinobori": a festive time of popular involvement to release dreams and hopes and give air to thoughts. Koinobori are the most meaningful and joyful custom of Kodomo no hi (Children's Day), which falls on May 5. They are brightly colored cloth or paper carps, which in Japan are hung in the wind and swayed as if swimming in the sky, and depict the family, parents and children to scale. The Japanese word "Koinobori" is a combination of two words, "Koi-鯉" meaning carp and "Nobori-幟" meaning banner, ensign or flag. Families hang these fish on flagpoles or from one bank of a river to the other. In fact, the carp according to the Japanese is the most vital and virtuous fish and holds all the symbolic meanings related to this holiday: energy, growth, success, courage, determination, physical and spiritual strength. Koinobori are hung to wish children to grow up strong like carp, which tenaciously swim against the current.
