This weekend it was the kodomo no hi, a holiday for children. It is actually more focused on boys than girls. Girls get another holiday in March, the hinamatsuri or “festival of the princesses”.
Around the time of the kodomo no hi, families pray for the future of their kids, they have family reunions with nice dinners for the kids and they display carp kites outside their house (or koi nobori) to show they have a son or several sons.
Looks like our neighbors have sons 🙂
