OBJECTIVE
The Tokyo Midtown Koinobori event is an annual outdoor celebration in Tokyo, Japan, featuring a gallery of over 100 colorfully designed 6-foot carp streamers in the Midtown Garden to celebrate Children's Day. The koinobori will first be exhibited in Tokyo, Japan, before being shipped to Hawai‘i for display at Capitol Modern in Honolulu.
INSPIRATION
Like a river, this koinobori begins at its peak, flowing down through streams and waterfalls to join others as it travels toward the ocean. This journey captures a variety of landscapes and wildlife in their daily lives. Whether they are sea otters or river otters, both are at 'maximum cuteness' as they wave hello to passersby.
