As my son was born at the end of May, he celebrated his Hatsu-zekku (the first Tango-no-sekku or Children\u2019s Day) when he became almost 1 year old. We invited his grandparents and prayed together for his health, wisdom and kindness. We displayed Gogatsu-ningyo (the doll for Children\u2019s day) made by my husband\u2019s father and Koi-nobori (carp-shaped colorful streamers) presented by my parents. I prepared o-sekihan (red rice that Japanese people often eat at celebrations), okashira-tsuki-no-tai (a grilled whole sea bream with its head and tail), chimaki (a steamed rice cake wrapped in a bamboo leaf and bound with rushes), kashiwa-mochi (a rice cake stuffed with anko, sweet bean paste, and wrapped in kashiwa, an oak leaf) and his favorite sashimi (sliced row fish). I sometimes made a cake for him. We decorated Gogatsu-ningyo and Koi-nobori until he graduated from elementary school, but we continued an annual dinner party of Children\u2019s Day until he grew up.<\/p>\n

Families, who have children, especially boys, attach Koi-nobori to a tall pole outside their houses when Children\u2019s day is getting close. As carp can swim powerfully up swift-running streams, carp are decorated in the hope of children\u2019s healthy growth and successful life. Koi-nobori are seen not only at ordinary houses but also at public and commercial facilities such as Kodomo-no-shiro in Shibuya Ward, Tokyo Metropolis, Yasukuni Srine in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo Metropolis and Nikko-Edo-mura (Nikko Edo Wonderland) in Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture.<\/p>\n

As I am busy doing complicated work at my office and home every day, time goes by without my noticing. However, I would like to enjoy the alternation of the beautiful seasons in Japan, at least eating seasonal foods and getting close to nature. We respect traditional annual events though it is difficult for us to elaborately or gorgeously celebrate them. On Children\u2019s day, we decorate miniature decorations and irises.<\/p>\n

Special Japanese confectionery on Children\u2019s Day are chimaki and kashiwa-mochi. There are some variations in anko: tsubu-an (coarse sweet red bean paste), koshi-an (strained sweet red bean paste), shiro-an (sweet white kidney bean paste) and zunda-an (mashed sweet young broad bean paste). Chimaki, Kashiwa-mochi and other sweets for Children\u2019s Day vary from region to region. My family like both chimaki and Kashiwa-mochi though I don\u2019t like the grassy smell of oak and bamboo leaves.<\/p>\n

Carp-shaped sweets and sweets in carp-shaped bags or boxes for Children\u2019s Day are on sale from the end of April to early May. I just cannot resist buying such cute sweets though no one in our family is at the age of Children\u2019s Day celebration. In Nagasaki Prefecture, there is a custom of eating and sending carp-shaped sweets called \u201cKoi-gashi\u201d (literal translation: carp sweets) which are very realistic to life. When I was shown their photos, I felt they were too real to eat.<\/p>\n

Cakes for Children\u2019s Day are less traditional than Kashiwa-mochi and chimaki, but popular.\u3000There are various kinds of cakes. Some are decorated with Kintaro who is the symbol of a healthy child and an iris which is a symbolic flower of the Children\u2019s Day. Others are in a carp-shape. Our son liked a cake covered with a lot of strawberries and whipped cream as well as Kashiwa-mochi and chimaki.<\/p>\n

The old custom to take Shobu-yu, a traditional iris-leaf hot bath on Children\u2019s Day, still remains. When Children\u2019s Day is just around the corner, flower shops start to sell iris leaves for Shobu-yu. Iris leaves have some medicinal effects including blood circulation promotion, fatigue recovery and insomnia treatment. In some districts, leaves of yomogi (Japanese mugwort) and iris leaves are floated together on a hot bath for Shobu-yu. Shobu-yu is considered a lucky bath to get rid of evil spirits and make children grow healthy as well as a medicinal bath. Bathing additive of iris leaves can be used as a substitute for fresh iris leaves if they are not available. All my family take Shobu-yu to pray for sound health and the purification of our spirit every year.<\/p>\n

Soon after Hina-matsuri, Girls\u2019 Festival, in March is over, Children\u2019s Day Corners are opened in department stores and supermarkets. Koi-nobori, decorative warrior’s helmets, and warrior dolls are sold there. The tradition of displaying them has been disappearing gradually, but still a lot of people buy them for their grandsons or sons. According to the salesclerks, grandparents tend to prefer a big and gorgeous set of Children\u2019s Day decoration, but young parents tend to prefer a compact one.<\/p>\n

Through a TV news program, I got information about the Koi-nobori event between Kamitaka Bridge and Takatsuka Bridge near Takadanobaba Station in Toshima, Tokyo in May 2015. We decided to go out to see it with Oh-chan. Many Koi-nobori were swaying over the Kanda River. We felt a little lonely because we lost Fu-chan in October of the previous year. As Oh-chan became older, his lower back and legs got weaker, so therefore, we walked slowly together seeing the Koi-nobori.<\/p>\n

Kakunodate in Semboku City, Akita Prefecture deserves to be called \u201cMichinoku-no-Sho-Kyoto\u201d (Little Kyoto in Mutsu Province: \u201cLittle Kyoto\u201d is an honorable nickname for towns that resemble Kyoto.) There are still residences of samurai (warrior) and wealthy merchants in Kakunodate which is especially crowded with tourists during Golden Week (from the end of April to the early May), the cherry blossom season. Luckily, I had a chance to visit my long-cherished place, Kakunodate in early May 2013 (Heisei 25th yr). Ando Brewery, established in 1853 (Kaei 6th yr), is one of the most famous brewers of miso (soybean fermented paste) and soy sauce in Akita. Some great sets of Gogatsu-ningyo as well as other decorations were displayed there.<\/p>\n

The residence of the Ishiguro Family faces the main street of Buke-yashiki Street of the old town of Kakunodate Castle. It is the oldest building among buke-yashiki (samura residences). A part of the guest room, a storehouse and a garden are open to the public all year round. To my surprise, descendants of the Ishiguros still live there. I saw precious antiques, samurai arms and Gogatsu-ningyo. This is not only an enjoyable event but also a meaningful one which successively inherits historical culture.<\/p>\n

The existing residences of the Tatetsu Family were built in 1900 (Meiji 33rd yr). Nowadays, they are used as Kakunodate Kabazaiku Center (Kakunodate Cherry-bark Craft Center), a restaurant and a souvenir shop. The historical materials of wealthy merchants\u2019 lives of those days were displayed in kura-zashiki (the room with tatami mats in the storehouse). A gorgeous set of Gogatsu-ningyo and boys\u2019 kimono were exhibited in a guest room. They said that in the Hina-matsuri (the Doll Festival) season, a set of Hina-ningyo (Hina dolls) and girls\u2019 kimono were also displayed. Antique kimono were also available for rent.<\/p>\n

Asaya in Kinugawa-onsen (Kinugawa Hotspring), Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture is a high-class hotel which celebrated the 130th anniversary of its foundation. This hotel offers hospitality with careful and proper attention to detail in spite of being a large-scale tourist hotel. I visited it at the end of April, several days before Children\u2019s Day, and saw many decorations for Tango-no-sekku (a traditional way to refer to Children\u2019s Day) everywhere in the hotel. The gorgeous Gogatsu-ningyo (literally \u201cMay doll\u201d) on the tiered doll-displaying stand was at the entrance of the lobby. I asked a female clerk if I could take photos of it and she was kind enough to allow me to take photos and moved the rope stand in front of the doll stand for me. What attracted me most was so many koi-nobori hanging at an entrance hall with an open ceiling from the 3rd to the 12th floors. I also enjoyed 100 kinds of food: Japanese, Western and Chinese in a buffet style but I could not eat every kind even though I stayed at the hotel for 2 nights and 3 days. I took onsen (a hot-spring bath) to relive everyday fatigue.<\/p>\n
