Old Samurai's Armor
For a new born boy, it is a tradition
to buy a toy helmet
wishing he will become a strong Samurai.
For our grandson, we decorated a true armor
which has slept in our warehouse
for a long time.
It is about 300 years old.
I am scared to see it at night.
I hope Asahi won't.

Tapestry I made.
The dark blue cloth is from Africa.
Kois are made with Japanese paper.
I just pinned them to the cloth and hang on the wall. |
Asahi's Koinobori
Koi is a carp.
Nobori means to ascend.
It is believed that a carp can ascend a water fall.
So, wishing the boy will rise in the world,
Japanese people hang up Kois high in the sky.
If you see a brand new set of Koinobori,
you will know that
there is a new born boy in the house.
Congratulations !
