May 6: “Peach Boy” and Fluttering Koinobori
May 5th in Japan is Kodomo no Hi, or Children’s Day—a national holiday that celebrates the happiness and unique strengths of children. Join us for a special celebration featuring a fun kamishibai performance of Momotaro, also known as “Peach Boy”—one of Japan’s most beloved folk heroes, who reminds both kids and grown-ups that great things can be achieved with courage and perseverance. After the story, make your own Fluttering koinobori carp streamers decoration which symbolize strength and determination.
