Children's Day

   Around this time of year, Japan becomes decorated with scenes of fish fluttering in the sky. Known as koinobori, the carp streamers are an important celebration of Children’s Day, which is on May 5th, and is one of the consecutive holidays that makes up Golden Week in Japan.

  

 

One of the favorite forms of the celebration happens at Sabogawa River, which plays host to an unusual yet exquisite tradition.

Colorful koinobori, which usually flutter in the wind, are placed back into the river where they belong.

 

I have a headache! 

 

It all started with this photo...

 

 

 

that I thought was so charming ... and below which every Mom know that feeling?

 

 

and on to the pensive shot below, isn't it sweet?

 

Then I mistakenly went down the internet rabbit hole, while researching something more important. I saw an article that feature the top 70? wedding dresses, the maker and the costs. Can you fathom a 5million dollar wedding dress? Well there are, and several had two or thee dresses designed for their wedding. There may have been more than 70, but that's when I gave up, brain-dead. It's a current article, which in my haste to escape, I deleted  it? Extra credit if you  find it?
