Inspired by the traditional Japanese festival of Tango no Sekku (Children's Day), this fun piece depicts a little boy riding a brightly-colored giant carp. The carp is a reference to the koinobori or satsuki-nobori flags, traditional fish-shaped emblems that decorate Japanese houses and buildings from April onwards in honor of children, with the wish that they will grow up strong and healthy. 10 3/4" in height.
