Koinobori production is at its peak in Kazo City, Saitama Prefecture.
In Kazo City, Saitama Prefecture, known as one of the largest producers of carp streamers in Japan, the production of carp streamers has entered its peak season. At Yakichi Hashimoto Shoten, a long-established shop that continues the tradition of hand-painting carp streamers, craftsmen carefully move brushes made of pure white cotton and soaked in black and gold pigments to draw scales and eyeballs. They hang them on the ceiling to dry, and it takes one to two months to complete the work, which keeps them busy until the Dragon Boat Festival in May. Photo taken February 17, 2016, in Kazo City, Saitama Prefecture. The photo was published in the evening edition of the same month, February 22 [Climb High in the Sky].
