As everyone living in Japan knows, this is the season of the koinobori carp streamers that can be seen flying outside the homes of families with male children.
I was surprised to find out via a news report today that some areas in Japan have modified koinobori to represent other fish that are local products.
Some locales in Miazaki Prefecture have taken to flying kujiranobori (whale streamers), because whale products are important to the local economy.
I wonder if Greenpeace plans to protest. . .
my prediction is this..
as Japan moves nervously into the 21C - it’s a case of
“So let’s forget about the future
And get on with the past”
