After Japan switched to the Gregorian calendar, the date was moved to May 5. [1] The festival is still celebrated in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau as the Duanwu Festival or Tuen Ng Festival (Cantonese), in Korea as the Dano Festival, and Vietnam as the Tt oan Ng on the traditional lunar calendar date. It was originally for boys but has since been changed to include both boys and girls. Tan means "beginning" and go means "horse", referring to the Chinese zodiac name for the fifth lunar month. [2] Sekku means a seasonal festival. There are five sekku, including O-Shogatsu (January 1st), Hina Matsuri (March 3rd), Tanabata (July 7th) and Kiku Matsuri (September 9th) along with Tango. Tango no Sekku marks the beginning of summer or the rainy season. Although it is not known precisely when this day started to be celebrated, it was probably during the reign of the Empress Suiko (593628 A.D.). In Japan, Tango no Sekku was assigned to the fifth day of the fifth month after the Nara period. Until recently, Tango no Sekku was known as Boys' Day (also known as Feast of Banners) while Girls' Day Children's Day (Japan) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children's_Day_(Japan) 1 of 3 5/19/2014 10:33 AM "J apanese Festival in Honor of the Birth of Children" fromSketches of Japanese Manners and Customs, by J.M.W. Silver, illustrated by native drawings, published in London in 1867 (Hinamatsuri) was celebrated on March 3. In 1948, the government decreed this day to be a national holiday to celebrate the happiness of all children and to express gratitude toward mothers. It was renamed Kodomo no Hi. Before this day, families raise the carp-shaped koinobori flags (carp because of the Chinese legend that a carp that swims upstream becomes a dragon, and the way the flags blow in the wind looks like they are swimming), one for each boy (or child), display a Kintar doll usually riding on a large carp, and the traditional Japanese military helmet, kabuto. Kintar and the kabuto are symbols of a strong and healthy boy. Kintar () is the childhood name of Sakata no Kintoki who was a hero in the Heian period, a subordinate samurai of Minamoto no Raikou, having been famous for his strength when he was a child. It is said that Kintar rode a bear, instead of a horse, and played with animals in the mountains when he was a young boy.
