vintage paper koi

$6.00

Traditionally displayed in homes and out in the neighbourhood during late spring to mark the celebration of Children's Day, koinobori (carp streamers) symbolise perseverance, strength, courage, and success. These vintage Japanese paper fish kits give you a simple craft project to cut, fold, and glue in minutes; all you need is a pair of scissors and a glue stick (plus a hole punch and string if you want to hang them up, not included).

Instructions are in Japanese but they couldn't be simpler to make! A lovely gift idea for the retro graphics fan, paper ephemera collector, children's room, or anyone missing Japan.

Each pack contains one sheet printed with two fish of different colour and size. Glue and string not included.
