May Theme: Children’s Day Origami

May 5 is Kodomo no Hi or Children’s Day in Japan. The national holiday is celebrated to wish for the healthy growth, happiness, and prosperity of all boys and girls. Children’s Day is known for its unique decorations including koinobori or carp streamers, gogatsu-ningyo or samurai dolls along with their armaments, and kabuto or samurai helmets. A symbol of both strength and durability, the kabuto is used to inspire Japanese youth to do their best and succeed.

The three (3) origami patterns ranging from beginner to advanced are available for participants to enjoy. Stop by and craft three different styles of kabuto to experience Children’s Day at the park!
