Japanese Carp Windsocks Poster

This poster features a vibrant row of traditional Japanese koinobori (carp-shaped windsocks) suspended in the air, captured mid-movement against a bright sky.

Traditionally displayed in Japan to celebrate Children’s Day (Kodomo no Hi), koinobori symbolise strength, perseverance and good fortune, inspired by the carp’s ability to swim upstream. This poster visually communicates cultural meaning through colour, pattern and movement, making it well suited to classrooms, cultural studies spaces or language learning environments.

The image works effectively as a visual reference for Japanese culture, festivals and symbolism, while also supporting discussions around colour, pattern, tradition and seasonal celebrations.
