Dragon Boat Festival" collection of patterns to ward off bad luck" is now available!

Dragon Boat Festival (Children's Day) is said to have originated in ancient China, where people soaked in orchid baths and drank iris wine, a medicinal herb, to purify their bodies with iris and pray for good health and protection from bad luck. In Japan, it was introduced as one of the five festivals in the Nara and Heian periods, and by the Edo period (1603-1867), it had spread from the samurai to the common people, leading to the culture of carp streamers and warrior dolls. In modern times, it has become an important event for boys, with its original meaning as a celebration to ward off bad luck and to pray for good health.
