What is a koinobori?

The carp

An old legend tells of a carp that swims up powerful currents, leaps a waterfall and turns into a dragon. It has become a symbol of courage and perseverance.

5 May

For Kodomo no Hi, Children’s Day, Japanese families hang koinobori outside their homes. Hundreds can also be seen flying above rivers.

The wind

A Japanese windsock shaped like a carp, the koinobori comes alive in the wind, which enters through the mouth, fills the fabric and spreads the fins. The carp then seems to swim through the sky.

At home

In a garden, on a balcony or in a bedroom, a koinobori also finds its place, for the pleasure of its colours and its design.

04 · BCDG

The Studio

Behind the koinobori signed BCDG are Catherine and Alain: two different perspectives, ideas that do not always agree, and the pleasure of creating together.

A landscape, a colour, a memory from a journey: sometimes that is all it takes for a new drawing to begin.

Every carp has its own character. And its own story.
