When the carp streamer became fresh green time, you
delighted eyes with colorful tone at airy places, such as a valley and a river, but did the customs of
raising a carp streamer in this way from about what time then start? The origin of a carp streamer starts
in China a long time ago.
It is said that only the carp has climbed the waterfall which is in the torrent of the Yellow River also
as a basis, it is connected with the historical fact of the leaping carp of having become a dragon, and
beginning came to be dealt with as a symbol of success in life in China.
With the book, these customs of the China introduction to the Edo period overlapped with success in life,
were taken in, and were mainly performed by samurai class later [ that ]. Till these days, although it is
a carp streamer, it merely seemed to be not present colorful tone but the streamer with a color. The carp
streamer which drew the form of the carp on a present streamer appears as a carp streamer spreads between
a merchant or the populace at large after that.
These customs have also gone out of use a little with change of a time now, and its seeing the home which
is hoisting the carp streamer at ordinary homes has also merely decreased very much. The carp streamer
raised with the Shirai Omachi wisteria park or the green echo Kasagata can collect the carp streamers
which are sleeping at such ordinary homes, and can hang and arrange them in the wire rope which let the
valley of the place between mountains pass at this time in May, and an exciting carp streamer can be seen.
I hear that the number which especially exceeds 1000 with the green echo Kasagata is raised.
