Comments - Terrific image of carp banners flying above homes during the Boy's Day Festival in May. Mounted to bamboo poles, these brightly colored "koi-nobori" symbolize strength and determination, with one banner hung for each son in the family. Here, traditional thatched-roof homes are surrounded by greenery and flowers, with chickens pecking in the fenced yard at left. A lovely homage to this annual event, with wonderful soft color reminiscent of a watercolor painting.
