I took this photo in front of horokiri-shobuen station. I think horikiri is a town of iris in this time. These paper lanterns are set for iris festival.
As a little boy living on a military post outside Tokyo my father put up three fish in front of our home to represent his three sons. I was the middle son. The fish were really colorful and it graduated sizes, big to small. I've never forgotten being represented that way (although I do not know the origin or reason behind the tradition.) Do you still do that in Japan?
