Do you know the meaning of this emoji ๐ ...?
It's called 'koinobori'. They are carp-shaped streamers flown for Children's Day, which takes place on the 5th May, to celebrate children and families all over Japan. The different colours and shapes of the koinobori represent members of the family.
Children's Day is a festival with ancient origins, but it has only been known as Children's Day (ๅญไพใฎๆฅ Kodomo no Hi) since 1948.
The original festival day was called 'Tango no Sekku ็ซฏๅใฎ็ฏๅฅ'. 'Sekku' is a seasonal festival, and 'tango' can mean 'fifth day of the fifth month'. This day marked the start of the summer or rainy season. It also became known as 'Boy's Day', a day on which fathers would celebrate the strength and courage of their sons. The carp, seen as a strong and spirited fish that can swim upstream and overcome obstacles, was chosen as the symbol of this day.
Daughters were celebrated separately on Hinamatsuri, the 3rd of May.
In 1948, though, it was decided that the festival should celebrate the happiness of both boys and girls, and so by government decree, Tango no Sekku became Kodomo no Hi, Children's Day.

Did you know...?
The or (Easter Hare) is thought to have its origins in Germany! ๐ฉ๐ช๐ฐ
Many people think that the rabbit became a symbol of due to ancient Pagan tradition, but there's not much proof to support this theory. In fact, the first known mention of the Easter Bunny was in 1682.
Georg Franck von Franckenau (1644-1704), a German scientist of the time, wrote a dissertation about folk beliefs from the Alsace and other regions, which featured a rabbit or hare bringing eggs at Easter.
In some other German-speaking regions the bringer of Easter eggs was a fox, a rooster, or the cuckoo bird.

Did you know...?
In France, it's not the Easter Bunny who traditionally brings Easter gifts, but the Easter Bells (les cloches de Pรขques) ๐
This comes from the Catholic custom of not ringing church bells between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. โช
The Easter Bells then became a story in the oral tradition, involving the bells flying to Rome where they would be blessed by the Pope, and return from their journey with lots of presents for families & children! ๐๐ซ

Last month, we posted about how the French and English words for 'Monday' both come from words meaning 'moon'. But did you know that the Japanese word for Monday is getsuyลbi - ๆๆๆฅ, also literally meaning 'moon day'? ๐
This is because in most East Asian languages, as well as Germanic and Romance languages, and indeed many other languages around the world, the days of the week are named after celestial bodies. โจ
Hundreds of modern and ancient languages, from Albanian to Burmese to Finnish to Mฤori, can trace their words for days of the week to the words for the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus. ๐ช

Next Monday is Valentine's Day! ๐ใ
Here's a romantic :
'Getsuku' or 'gekku' is a Japanese word referring to the most popular time slot for romantic TV dramas. It is an abbreviation of ๆๆ๏ผๆ (getsuyล kuji), meaning "Monday at 9pm". The term originated during the early 1990s, when major broadcasting station Fuji TV started airing shows on Monday nights, when there were generally no baseball games played that could distract or disrupt broadcast.
Many TV stations aired dramas on a Monday for this reason, but thanks to the success of popular shows on Fuji TV like Tokyo Love Story and The 101st Marriage Proposal, the 9pm Monday slot became a permanent fixture in Japanese TV, and the term 'getsuku' was born. ๐บ
Will you be watching a romantic movie or drama next Monday...? ๐ฅฐ
