• This is a national holiday in Japan celebrated on

medicinal herbs to ward off childhood diseases.

kites and hanging streamers. In Japan, the
Children's Festival was originally called the “Boy's
Festival” while the girls had the “Doll
Festival”(March 3rd).
こいのぼり
Koinobori
 Also

known as carp windsocks, carp streamers or
carp banners
 Is used to decorate the landscape of Japan in
honour of Children’s day(こどもの日) (April
through early May)
 Carp symbolizes the courage and strength because
of its ability to swim up a waterfall
 Since the carp's courage and strength is a trait
desired in boys, families traditionally have flown
koinobori from their homes to honor their sons.
 It was originally used as banners by samurai
warriors in the battle field
Japanese Carp Kites
Koinobori, literally means
“koi = carp and nobori = to climb”

These tubular kites when they catch the wind are suppose to represent
carp swimming upstream.
Carp sets are flown above the roofs of houses,
with the biggest black koinobori for the
father(おとうさん), next biggest red for the
mother(おかあさん), and ranging down to
the smallest carp for the youngest child(こ
ども).
Materials for make koinobori kite

 Tissue Paper or Crepe Paper
 Scissors
 Colored makers
 Glue or Glue Stick
 One-hole punch
 Yarn or string
 1 stick, or small wooden pole about 2
feet long
How to make koinobori…
1 In 3-4 colours, cut out several circles of tissue paper, approx 1.5 inches in
diameter, then cut them in half to make semi circles. Place a piece of double
sided tape all the way around the bottom of your toilet paper roll. Start placing
the straight edge of each semi circle on the double sided tape, overlapping
slightly so no roll shows underneath Ensure the curved end of the semi circle
hangs off the roll so it isn’t attached. This end will be the fish’s tail. Complete all
the way around.
2 Leaving a 5cm gap, place another strip of double sided tape around the roll
and repeat with the semi circles. The colour order doesn’t matter much, just do
what you think looks good. You will have to overlap a fair bit and not all the ends
will be taped down. Leave them. The next layer should cover them.
3 Repeat all the way to the top, making sure you finish with the tape and half
circles around the very top of the roll. This is the head. At this point if there are
any half circles that are still sticking up, use double sided tape to stick them
down.
4 Cut out a circle with white paper (approx. 1 inch in diameter) then use a black
marker to draw a large circle inside for the eye. Use double sided tape to stick
onto the side of the head.
5 Cut strips of tissue paper using the same colours as your semi circles. At the tail
end, carefully place a piece of double sided tape inside, along the bottom of the
roll. One by one, stick a long piece of tissue paper to the tape, going all the way
around until it’s covered.
6 Trim any ends if necessary so they’re about the same length. Repeat steps 1-6 to
make two more carp.
7 Cut three pieces of twine about 7 inches long. Double knot each one onto your
dowel, making sure the ends are even.
8 Place a piece of double sided tape inside the roll on the head side, opposite the
eye. Starting with the top knotted twine on the dowel, secure the loose ends onto
the double sided tape inside the roll. If you plan to swing this koinobori around,
use hot glue instead, or place another piece of tape on top the twine.
9 Repeat on the opposite side, just behind the eye. Repeat for the next two carp.


When the paint and glue are dry, you
can hang your Koinobori outside.
Japanese families fly Koinobori in
front of their homes to make a wish
that their children will be strong and
healthy like the carp.

origami
• Origami, (pronounced or-i-GA-me) is
the Japanese art of paper folding.
"Ori" is the Japanese word for
folding and "kami" is the Japanese
word for paper.
The Origins of Origami. . .
• Although Origami is known
as a Japanese Art, it
actually began in China.
The Chinese invented paper
around 100 A.D., and when
the invention spread to
Japan around 600 A.D., so
did the art of paper folding.
The History of Origami
• In ancient times, Origami could only be used for special
occasions because the paper was scarce. The figures
made from origami were shaped like animals,
costumed people, and ceremonial designs that had
special meanings to them. The constructions were
done using a single sheet of colored paper that was
often, though not always, square.
• There were no directions back then. None of the folding
instructions were ever written down for the models.
They were passed down by generation through
learning and practicing.
• The art of paper folding was not called Origami until the
end of the nineteenth century. By the 1950’s origami
gained popularity from world famous origami artist
Akira Yoshizawa (1911-2005).
First Book on Origami
• The first known book on how to make
an origami object was written in 1797
and is called The Secret of One
Thousand Cranes Origami (Hiden
Senbazuru Orikata)
Pictured to the
left are pages
from “The
Secret of One
Thousand
Cranes
Origami”..
Akira Yoshizawa (1911-2005)
He is considered to be the grandmaster of
origami for developing origami as a creative
art and creating many new folding styles.

Pictured above are pages
from “Dokuhon, Vol.1 ”

MARU MARU MORI MORI
• Maru Maru Mori Mori is the theme
song from drama Japanese that title is
Marumo no Okite.
• This song tells the story of twins who
have lost their parents during their
young age. Their relationship is very
close and they are inseparable. They
separate living apart because they
have been adopted so they are forced
to live apart. Eventually they get back
