Children's Day is a national holiday in Japan that is celebrated on the 5th of May. It is the day to respect the personalities of children and to celebrate their happiness. Before the 5th of May, families raise koinobori flags for their sons and display a Kintaro doll riding a large carp, and the traditional Japanese military helmet called kabuto. These two are symbols of a strong and healthy boy.
