May 5th is Childrens Day in Japan. I also marks the ending of Golden Week. It is a day for parents and family to regoice in the personalities, health and well-being of their children.
It is also customary for families with boys to hand up ‘koinobori’ or carp streamers which represents strength, power and success in their lives.

Border Collie Japanese Carp Streamers
Fortunately, Satoyama Garden (Asahi Ward, Yokohama, Japan) is a pet-friendly park as long as you keep your dog on a leash and clean up after any droppings.

Japanese Carp Kites
(Asahi Ward, Yokohama, Japan)
Traditionally flown from April through early May, a carp kite (鯉のぼり, koinoboiri) is actually a windsock shaped like a koi fish with its open mouth attached to a pole or rope so that its tail flutters freely in the wind.
Freshwater carp represent energy and determination as they can fight their way against swift-running streams and obstacles making them symbolic of courage and success.
Families and communities fly the koinoboiri in hopes that their children will grow up with courage, determination, and the ability to overcome obstacles.

This cowl was directly inspired by the Waves Mittens by tincanknits, a pattern which can be had for a mere $5 USD and which I hope I did any justice at all. I kind of winged the whole thing. I hope to do a lot more knitting with Japanese patterns.
