Tango-no-Sekku (The Boy's Festival) is held on
May 5. It is held to express hope that each boy in the family will grow up
healthy and strong. Warrior figures are set up in the house during this festival,
iris leaves are placed under the eaves to fend off evil, and huge fish-like
streamers are fastened to poles. Special rice cakes wrapped in oak leaves are
eaten on this day. |
