At the Shibetsu Salmon Science Center in Shibetsu-cho, Hokkaido, work was done to raise a "salmon streamer" instead of a "carp streamer" before the Dragon Boat Festival.
At the Shibetsu Salmon Science Center in Shibetsu Town, where salmon fishing is popular, we raise "salmon streamers" instead of "carp streamers" every year at this time of year.
"Salmon streamer" expresses the life of a mature salmon with a fertilized egg, fry, and brown mottled pattern with eight types of streamers.
When the staff spread the "salmon streamer" about 2 meters long and stretched the rope and raised it one after another, the salmon streamer was swimming vigorously in the sky.
Tomotaka Nishio, Deputy Director of the Shibetsu Salmon Science Center, said, "Please come and see the salmon flying in the sky."
The "salmon streamer" will be displayed until the 8th of next month.
