Doodle: Children’s Day
Doodle May 5th, 2008 - By HaochiGoogle Japan celebrates Children’s Day today (actually, more like yesterday to them - timezone difference), like they have done in the previous years.
May 05 is Children’s Day. On this day, children display samurai swords, armor, and Kintar? dolls. Two important symbols of Children’s day are carps and irises. Traditionally, families fly carp kites with a carp representing each son*. [Wikipedia]
I am doing this again, but today is also Cinco de Mayo, and apparently “Google Doodles doesn’t care about Mexican people” - says ValleyWag.
And last but not least, Google is holding yet another Doodle4Google contest, and this time for the Israeli children.
* so Google has three sons?
