Weily is instilling family tradition on Teo. May 5th, the 5th day of the 5th month is a national holiday in Japan and is now referred to as "Childrens Day". It used to be called "Boys Day" and there is also a girls day in March. Part of the traditional festivities is to fly these carp shaped flags.....the top one represents the father, the middle one represents the mother, and the smaller one represents the children. These particular carp shaped flags have been passed down from Weily's grandfather (Yoko's father) and were given to Teo shortly after he was born.
