今日は5月5日、子供の日。アラタの初節句だ。両親が、バルコニーにちょこっと飾れるようにと、おもちゃのこいのぼりを送ってくれた。テムズ川クルーズをしている日本人観光客以外にはただの魚にしかみえないだろう。これ以外に母のお友達が作ってくれたこいのぼりの飾り物。そして、兜。アラタをバルコニーに置くと、勢いよく泳いでいるこいのぼりをとても楽しそうに見ている。
It's Japanese children (boys') day. My parents sent us a set of small Koinobori (carp kites). In Japan, we put up Koinobori in the garden on the children day if the family have a boy. We put it up at our balcony during day. Probably except for the Japanese tourists on the river Thames cruise, people out there only think they are just flying fish! We've also displayed a nice hand made, by my mum's friend, small Koinobori ornament and Kabuto (traditional samurai helmet that is also for children's day) in the sitting room. Arata was so happy to see Koinobori swimming in the sky, sitting in the balcony.
