The fish flags are hung on a pole in descending order of size, with the largest on top for the father and the smallest for the youngest child on bottom.

Today black flags represent fathers, followed by a slightly smaller red or pink carp for the mother. From there the fish continue to diminish in size with blue and green flags used to represent boys and pink and orange fish representing girls.

At the very top of the pole, a brightly colored windsock is flown to represent the dragon. Butcher is thin and you can easily see through it. Freezer paper is thick and has a plastic coating on one side. Print the pattern of A Japanese Fish Kite. There are 2 pages.
