Koinobori (鯉のぼり) means ”carp streamer” in Japanese. The flags, shaped as fish, are used in the traditional Children’s day where they symbolize health and strength.

The carps have enough energy and strength to swim against the strong current which is illustrated with the flags that become clearer the stronger the wind blows. Therefore, the koinobori streamers symbolise strength by using the headwind/countercurrent to overcome the challenges and reach the goals.
