Koi Windsock Display  

The carp (koi) is as an important symbol for children in Japanese culture. When first hooked, the carp fights with all its strength, but accepts the inevitable with composure.

Each year on May 5, koi banners are flown above Japanese homes where children live. They are displayed over the Yagura Stage in the Japanese Garden. Koi fish can be seen near the Togetsukyo Flat Bridge in the Japanese Garden.
