Thank you so much for reading. I’m happy this tradition reached you.

I love reading your posts, and today’s is particularly poignant for me. My father, who passed away 15 years ago now, brought back 2 carp streamers from his travels in Japan. I now have them. They are beautiful. I haven’t flown them , they are quite big, but you have reminded me I should get them out some time, maybe for a Spring gathering. I also have a carp tattoo (my only tattoo) to remind me of my Dad. So anyway, thank you for your post, keep writing, I love to hear your stories. ❤️

Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful story with me.

I believe the koinobori your father brought back from Japan carried his wishes for your healthy growth and happiness.

I am also happy to know that Japan still feels close to you through those memories.

Thank you for your warm words and for continuing to read my writing. Your message truly touched me.🕊️

Thank you, I hope to visit Japan one day, and walk a little in my father’s footsteps 💚 in the meantime the koinoboro must fly! 🙏🏻
