In Japan, koinobori is a very seasonable item used only for the Children's Festival, May 5th. Generally, you cannot buy koinobori at most of the shops except in the last sales months, March and April, just before May 5th.
However, we always have enough stock through a year.
You can purchase anytime of a year.
May 5 is Japan's national holiday known as, Kodomo no hi (Children's day). It is a day to celebrate the health and happiness of children. Until 1948, it was called, "Tango no Sekku", and only honored boys. Although this holiday became known as, "Children's Day", many Japanese still consider it a Boy's Festival.
Families with boys fly, "Koinobori (carp-shaped streamers)", to express hope that they will grow up healthy and strong. The carp is a symbol of strength, courage and success.
