In Japan, May 5th is Boys' Festival. I am not currently in Japan, so I thought I wouldn't need to celebrate this day. Besides, I've never celebrated May 5th, but my parents said it's kinda important to celebrate a boy's first "May 5th". I have a 5 month old baby boy, so I decided to prepare some Japanese-style food and helmet (kabuto) for him. In America, especially in the small town where I live, it's so hard to get quality(edible!) raw fish or Japanese stuff like "dashi" or "shiitake". I just bought some smoked salmon and vinegar for sushi, and I also made a helmet with fabric. It was not perfect, but the helmet looked very good on him and we enjoyed the homemade "temakizushi" very much:)
ハッピーシンコデマヨ！
日本では５月５日は端午の節句です。私は今日本に住んでいないので祝う必要はないと思ったのですが、というか今ま で祝ったこともなかったし。でも両親が初めての端午の節句は祝った方がいいというので、５ヶ月の男の子もいることだし、日本的な料理と兜を用意することに しました。
アメリカでは、特に私がすんでいるような田舎では、食べれる生魚や日本の野菜を見つけるのはすごく難しいです。なのでスモークサーモンと寿司用のお酢だけを買って布で兜を作りました。完璧ではありませんが兜は似合っていたし手作りの手巻き寿司はとっても美味しかったです。

In America, especially in small town where I live, it's so hard to get eatable low fish or Japanese stuff like "dashi" or "shiitake". I just bought smoked salmon and vinegar for sushi and also I made helmet with fabric. It was not perfect, but the helmet was very good on him and we enjoyed homemade "temakizushi" very much:)
