Koinobori Carp Streamers Pop Art Print

from $30.00

Koinobori (鯉のぼり), carp streamers, are a longstanding Children's Day icon in Japan that dates back hundreds of years in history. The Chinese legend of a carp jumping over a waterfall or a 'dragon's gate' to turn into a dragon presents the carp as a powerful symbol of perseverance and achieving one's ambitions. In Japan, in April and May, koinobori streamers are flown as a wish for the children to grow up strong, healthy and successful in life.

Koinobori banners floating amongst the bright blue sky's white clouds are a quintessential image of springtime Japan. Bearing our Pop Art colour and fun pattern design, the print hits that nostalgic note of warmth, sunshine and childlike innocence. Hang the print on your wall to stay in touch with your inner childhood ambitions or frame it in your kids' room as a wish for them to grow up as the magical, mighty soon-to-become-dragon earnest carp.
