Girls’ Day and Boys’ Day


Last Tuesday, we celebrated the traditional Japanese holidays, Girls’ Day and Boys’ Day.  The girls celebrated with a tea party including their favorite baby dolls.  At our tea party, we served green tea and rice cakes, which were a big hit with everyone!  The boys made koi fish kites.  On Boys’ Day in Japan, the boys put out a koi fish kite for each of the males in the family.  Unfortunately, our boys only had time to make a kite for themselves.
