Kou-un na Koinobori (幸運なこいのぼり)

Children’s Day, or Kodomo no hi (子供の日), in Japan celebrates the growth and happiness of children by hanging koinoboris, or large carp streamers, to represent resilience and strength. Kou-un na Koinobori (幸運なこいのぼり) is inspired by the deep appreciation for Japanese culture and omamori, a Japanese amulet holding various forms of good luck. I incorporate Japanese talismans in this design, creating a truly lucky koinobori.
