#childrensday — Public Fediverse posts

Japan is marking Children's Day on Tuesday. About 1,000 carp-shaped streamers are on display near a Tokyo landmark to wish for the healthy growth of children.

Crowds flocked to Tokyo Skytree in Sumida Ward for the annual event. The colorful streamers fluttered in the wind at the foot of the 634-meter tower, setting up a perfect photo opportunity for families and tourists.

Crabby Crab

Old man Kaduik looked away from his tiles. The game had ground to a draw, and he was bored. He looked out over the park and smiled as he watched the school #kids playing. It was one of the pleasures of being a retired god. Being human wasn’t so bad. The kids were milling around in the shade of the trees, enjoying their break from school.

“What are you thinking?” Nakona asked, following his gaze.

“I was wondering what it would have been like if we had ever been kids: playing in the shallows, catching crabs, teasing the girls.”

“You would have been like that one over there,” she said, pointing to a boy chasing the girls. He was using his hands like pincers, shouting, “Crabby, crab! Crabby, crab!” and laughing when the girls squealed.

As suddenly as the game had started, it stopped with the boy leaning against a tree, panting in the heat.

“Hey, Tamlo,” the retired crab god yelled to the juice vendor. “Give that boy a drink. I’ll pay.”

“No can do, sir. We'd be reported for showing undue interest in him.”

“Then, I’ll buy them all drinks, and you’d better give me a good bulk discount.”

This is one of a series, each unique, of my hand made cyanotypes on watercolour paper (14” x 11”) with an image of a cloud-filled sky overprinted with my linocut print of several kites, and wind-socks each collaged with beautiful Japanese washi papers.

The carp-shaped Koinobori wind socks (also known as satsuki-nobori) are flown in Japan to celebrate Tango no sekku, or Children’s Day each May 5.

There are two sweets, both wrapped in leaves, that are absolutely essential for "Children's Day": kashiwa mochi (かしわ餅/柏餅) and chimaki (ちまき/粽).

🎏CHILDREN'S DAY👶

Arriving at the end of Golden Week, 'Kodomo-no-hi' (こどもの日 "Children's Day") celebrates the happiness of children and families.

In the weeks leading up to May 5th many homes display dolls and armor (or helmets), symbolizing vitality and strength.

I pray for this child's health, happiness, and future.

世界上的所有初生儿都是无政府主义者。
只是他们中大多数人在“长大”的过程中被深刻地驯化了，被压制成了“合规的”奴仆。
但还有一些人一直在抵制驯化，拒绝“长大”。
儿童节就是为世界上所有抵制驯化以保持住童年的纯真和自由的人们准备的 ——
让我们有机会不仅仅是怀念、甚至可以亲手重建那份自由，把天马行空的想象力和创造力解放出来，
尽情享用无条件的爱与平等互助的安全感。

儿童节快乐！祝你永远不要被驯化成死板无聊、庸俗颓废、循规蹈矩、甘心为奴的“成年人”。

When the blooms have died the leaves are cut and gathered into bundles, distributed for use in 'shōbu-yu' (菖蒲湯).

It is custom to take sweet-flag (iris leaf) baths for the 5th day of the 5th month celebrations (now known as "Kodomo-no-hi こどもの日 or "Children's Day").

Japan celebrates Children's Day on May 5th with many festivals throughout the country, dedicated to the healthy growth and happiness of children.

Tango no Sekku is a traditional 🇯🇵 celebration held on May 5th, marking the change of seasons and celebrating the health and happiness of all children. Many festivals take place across Japan on this day.

In Kyoto, Saginomori Shrine celebrates this special occasion with a mikoshi procession (a parade of a portable Shinto shrine). The mikoshi is believed to house the spirit of the deity.

#Mondog and today was Children's Day holiday 🎏
in Japan. I tried a timer shot together in our yard for the first time. My child wasn't very cooperative, but he's my one and only💙
Have a good week, everyone.

Golda Meir said it best:

"We will only have peace when they love their children more than they hate us."

Peace can only flourish when any group — no matter their background — chooses to prioritize hope, love, and the future of their children over the darkness of hatred and conflict.

This principle applies universally to all situations where hatred overshadows the possibility of coexistence and understanding.

We would prefer #APJAbdulKalam 's birthday henceforth to be #ChildrensDay in #India instead of #JawaharlalNehru . This is to ensure #Children are kept away from anyone closely (l)inked to political parties.
