This week is Golden Week- a week of Japanese holidays... and today is Children's Day! Children's Day, or Kodomo no hi, is a national holiday in Japan to celebrate children's happiness and success. Koi streamers are hung to symbolize strength and courage. I found a great photo of these streamers on Flickr taken by
Moonstitches:
Koi Nobori
The bright, happy colors inspired these soaps:
Thanks to Jenny at the
Southern Institute for Domestic Arts and Crafts for her
post about Children's Day (psst, she's doing a giveaway this week too!), and thank you so much to
Moonstitches for graciously allowing me to use her photo for some soapy inspiration!
