Have you seen the flying carp streamers in Japan? They are known as Koinobori. (Admittedly, I just learned that term.) They are typically made from a woven fabric and flown during the Japanese celebration known as Tango no sekku. This celebration is dedicated to children and also referred to as Children's Day. This is a celebration of the children of Japan in the hope they may grow up to be strong and resilient like the carp that swim up the waterfalls. Read more about the festivities here. I'v
Koinobori (鯉のぼり) means "carp pennant" in Japanese. The fish-shaped flags are used in connection with the traditional Children's Day, where they are a symbol of health and strength. The long-lived carp have the energy and strength to swim up against strong currents, which is illustrated by the flags, which stand sharper in the wind the more it blows. The Koinobori pennants thus symbolize the strength of using the headwind/current to overcome one's challenges and achieve one's goals. Read more about the thoughts behind it here . They are printed by hand, so no two prints are the same - there will therefore be slight differences, which simply makes each individual print unique The linoleum print is printed on 100% handmade cotton paper with a 4-sided handmade border (110 grams) Only printed in A3 (29.7x42 cm) All prints are signed by Ida Holm We recommend framing this in an A3 passepartout frame or a general. 40x50 frame and stick it on a background paper, so that you show the beautiful, frayed edges.

Are ya'll familiar with the Japanese holiday called Children's Day? I think sometimes my students are convinced that everyday is Children's Day which is why nearly every night is Grape-Flavored Grown-Up Drink Day for this art teacher. But I digress. The real Children's Day is celebrated in Japan on the 5th day of May which, in case you didn't know, is the 5th month. It's a day set aside to respect children's personalities and to celebrate their happiness. Which, seriously, that part should be everyday in an art room, don't you think? On this day, all children fly a carp kite called a koinobori on a flag pole, along with the koinobori of those in their family. The father's koinobori is usually at the top, followed by the mother with the children's kites, from oldest to youngest, flown below. I had big visions of flying the kids' koinobori outside of our school for the occasion and for our upcoming art show (which is in 10 days, people! Not that I'm freaking out at all). However, we had some pretty Big, Bad and Ugly weather at the start of last week that lead me to believe that keeping these lovelies inside would be a better bet. The last time I hung something in these windows, it was a pretty big hit so I thought I'd do it again with our koinobori. Along with a sign, of course. Otherwise everyone just thought they were super cool fish kites. Which they are but there's also a super cool story behind them as well. So just how did my friends in First Grade Land create these awesome koinobori? Dude, it was so super easy and, like, the World's Fastest Art Project (which for me is a total rarity). Here's a list of the supplies we used: Roylco's Japanese Carp Wind Sock Kit For about $8, you can get your kitten mittens on a set of 24 die-cut fish with tag board strips that get glued into the mouths (if you look at the orange fish above, you'll see the tag board propping open the mouth.) Sharpies. This is optional. I had the kids use these to add details that they wanted to remain permanent. Watercolor Paint. Boy, talk about an End-of-the-School-Year-We-Are-Almost-Outta-Supplies Limited Palette, ya'll. But, we're artists, kids! We can make do! Or something like that. A Spray Bottle Full of Water. Yarn. Hole Punch. How the lesson went down: My kids have been learning about Asia, with an emphasis on Japan, all year. In fact, we'd just finished off this sushi lesson not long ago and had just completed making a ceramic koi fish. I needed a short and quick tie-in lesson while our clay projects dried and fired. These koinobori were just the perfect thing. After chatting about Children's Day, the kids were given a tray of warm and cold colored Sharpie markers. We chatted about the parts of a fish (fins, gills, scales, tail, etc.) and how we might emphasize those with either warm or cool colored Sharpies. That took up our first 30 minute session. For the next 30 minute session, we reviewed correct use of water color paint (which obviously doesn't include cleaning the tray, ew!). I also told the kids that they were again to use warm or cool colors but that they didn't have to stick with the same color family as they used last art class. Once the kids had collected their supplies (a paint brush and two ziplock bags -- the two things I forgot to mention in that above supply list, doh!), they were to raise their hand and I came over and squirted their fish with water. Because the paper is made from the same stuff as coffee filters, a wee spritz of water really helps the water color paint to spread out. The kids thought that was pretty rad. Once the kids had painted their entire fish, they were given the option of splatter painting. I don't think a single kid opted out of that one. To dry, the kids gingerly carried their zip locked fish to the floor. The reason I kept the bags on the bottom was that I found that the color will often run off the paper and on to the surface that it is sitting on. However, if the paper is allowed to "sit in it's own juices" so to speak, it dries much more vibrant. Now, normally, I woulda had the kids add the tag board and attempt to tie the string. But I was in a bit of a time crunch. So I set aside about 15 minutes every afternoon to hot glue the tag board at the top, hot glue it into a tube, hole punch the top and add the yarn. By the end of the week, I had all of my classes finished. To hang, I bent a paper clip so that it looked like some sort of scary prison shank and stuck it into the foamy ceiling tie. I added the top fish to that paper clip. Then I hole punched the bottom of that fish and added a bent paper clip to that hole where I attached the second fish. If I'm not making any sense it's because I'm deep into that aforementioned Grape-Flavored Grown-Up Drink Day and I simply cannot be held accountable for my incoherentness. I managed to get 'em all up and ready for Monday, May 5th on Friday. I can't wait for the kids (and the grown kids) to see them and celebrate all things children -- especially during our standardized testing week! Until next time, enjoy Children's Day! Or Grape-Flavored Grown-Up Drink Day. Your choice.
Koinobori (鯉のぼり) betyder "karpe-vimpel" på japansk. De fiskeformede flag bruges i forbindelse med den traditionelle 'Børnenes dag' (子供の日) d. 5 maj, hvor de er et symbol på sundhed og styrke. Se mere De langtlevende karper har energi og styrke til at svømme op imod stærk strøm, hvilket illustreres af flagene, som står skarpere i vinden, des mere det blæser. Koinobori-vimplerne symboliserer altså styrken i at bruge modvinden/-strømmen til at overkomme sine udfordringer og nå sine mål. Læs mere om tankerne bag her. De er trykt i hånden, så ingen af trykkene er ens - der vil derfor være små forskelligheder, hvilket blot gør hvert enkelte tryk unikt Linoleumstrykket er trykt på 100% håndlavet bomuldspapir med afrevne sider (250 gram). Indisk, syrefrit, fairtrade Khadi papir. Trykkes kun i A3 (29,7x42 cm) Målene kan variere en smule pga. de flossede sider. Alle tryk er signeret af Ida Holm Vi anbefaler indramme denne i en 40x50 ramme og påklistre den på et syrefrit bagkarton, så man viser de smukke, flossede sider - eller i en ramme med passepartout som vist på produktbilledet. Alternativt passer trykket naturligvis også i A3 rammer

Koi-Fische können mehr als 100 Jahre alt werden und flussaufwärts schwimmen, daher stehen sie für Widerstandsfähigkeit, Stärke, Mut und Liebe.

Traditionell schmücken sie aber auch Häuser, in denen ein Kind zur Welt gekommen ist. Mit einem Kinobori feiert man das Leben und lädt das Glück ein! Diese wunderschönen, mintfarbenen Koinobori werden von einem der ältesten Hersteller Japans handgefertigt. Sie bestehen aus Washi-Papierbögen, die individuell von Hand bedruckt und bemalt werden. Daher ist jede Koinobori ein Unikat und ein kleines Kunstwerk. Entworfen vom dänischen Illustrator und Designer Alfred Bramsen in Zusammenarbeit mit OHAYO. Limitierte Auflage.

Koinobori (鯉のぼり) means ”carp streamer” in Japanese. The flags, shaped as fish, are used in the traditional Children’s day where they symbolize health and strength. The carps have enough energy and strength to swim against the strong current which is illustrated with the flags that become clearer the stronger the wind blows. Therefore, the koinobori streamers symbolise strength by using the headwind/countercurrent to overcome the challenges and reach the goals. The linocuts are printed by hand and therefore no prints will be the same - there will be minor differences which makes every single print uniqueThe linocut is printed on 100% handmade cotton paper with ripped edges in A3 format (29,7x42 cm, 110 gram)All prints are individually signed by Ida HolmPlease notice the linocuts are sold without frame
Take a look at the design of the carp's scales. It depicts a turtle and a fan. The turtle is a lucky crest representing longevity, and the fan also represents prosperity. This Koinobori is very attractive as an archive of designs. About Koinobori: Koinobori, traditional Japanese carp-shaped windsocks, are flown in celebration of Children’s Day, also known as Kodomo no Hi.
