"Koi nobori" fluttering in the 2022 fragrant wind
Today, the scenery where fragrant winds and carp streamers flutter in the clear sky of May is an indispensable feature of the "Dango Festival". Dango means the day of the early afternoon of the moon, and since ancient times in China, May is especially the moon of disaster, and it has been customary to cleanse yourself as a day of obsession. Iris, which has been used as a medicinal herb for a long time and is said to pay for illness or disaster, is inserted into hair (iris wig), laid under a pillow (iris pillow), placed at the eaves, or in the iris bath. It is a curse of evil, such as soaking or decorating a "medic ball" knitted in a sphere with a gull. When the samurai government was born, the irises lead to Naotake, so it is said that the origin of the carp streamer was set up at home with a banner used for the battle. Naotake, which respects Take, was a celebration day for boys, and after the war, it was enacted as a holiday as "Children's Day" in hope of healthy growth of children. There is a legend in China that "a carp that has climbed the waterfall called" Longmen "in the upper reaches of the Yellow River can become a dragon and climb to the heavens", and the dragon is a symbol of the emperor, "Koi Falls Ascending" Is a symbol of success. In the Edo period, following a samurai whose armor was displayed in inner room and a flag flag was displayed outdoors, it was a May doll decoration and a popular fish among the common people.·There is nothing on the chest. "It is said that customs such as setting up a carp" streamer spread. Carp streamers swim lively with the wind of the "ikesu" at the atrium of Tsukuda Park, and after-school school children run around in the park on the day before the GW when there are no restrictions on measures against COVID-19 infection for the first time in three years, and the voices of bouncing are echoing.
