I saw a carp-shaped streamer

Maybe, decorating a carp-shaped streamer is
one of the Japanese special custom.
Below sentence is made by professional
an English teacher, which would let you
 understand what  a carp-shaped streamer is.

We celebrate May 5th as Boys' Day in Japan, and display a decoration called 'koinobori' (carp streamer) for the day either outdoors on a flag pole or indoors in the drawing room. The indoor koinobori is a miniature of the outdoor type.

A koinobori is a set of streamers in the shape of carps in different colors and sizes. The carps are a symbols of a family.

I took pictures yesterday (May, 07, 2017).
It was windy, Koinobori looked well.
