Furafu
When travelling in Kochi during the fine weather in May, you will see many large flags with pictures of brave warriors in bright colors flying along with koinobori carp pennants above the roofs of houses. Called furafu. they are gifts from parents representing their desire for their male children to grow healthy and happy, and are decorated during the Tango no Sekku seasonal festival.
