Tango no Sekku

Boy's Day or "Tango no Sekku" is celebrated on May 5 in Japan. Unlike Hinatsuri (Girl's Day) when dolls are decorated at home, on this day, the families with boys will raise carp-shaped flags called "Koinobori" to express hope that their boys will grow to be healthy and strong.

I created little goodie bags for the boys and my co-workers filled with Umai Bo (Baked corn snack) and gummy candies.
