I am coming to Halifax soon! Can't wait!

Hello my friends in Halifax!!

I am coming to Halifax at the end of this month and stay there for about 10 days.

It would be great if I could see you guys while I am there.

In Japan, there is a national holiday wishing young children's health and well-being, it's called "Kodomono-hi" Children's day and it's on May 5th every year.

Since I will be in Halifax on that day this year, our family have already put out some traditional things for Children's day.


1) Koinobori / streamers shaped like carps





2) Armour








This celebration is especially for boys.

Girls have another celebration called Hinamatsuri in March though it's not a national holiday.

I hope my boys grow up to be strong to support their friends and people they love.
