This week on May 5, families throughout Japan celebrate Kodomo no hi, Japanese Children's Day.
This special day celebrates children, and honours their mothers. Families hang Koinobori (Koi kites) outside their homes to symbolise their children growing strong and healthy.
As artists we've taken inspiration from the traditional Koinobori, to create our own lively, colourful versions using layers of crayon resist on watercolour paper, coloured paper and streamers.
They are gorgeous!
