The annual event has been counted 23 times already. It has been held from April 29 to May 5 and became popular among citizens and visitors to the city. This year, the city considered the feelings of victims in the disaster and decided to call it off.

When they talked about the annual carp streamers’ event to the volunteer staff at the shelter, they expressed their hearty welcome of the event. ‘The children in the shelter won’t be able to go anywhere on a pleasure trip this year. Something pleasure for the children is welcome.’ They expressed.
Executive committee members of the event, carrying with about 60 carp streamers, depart from Sagamihara city on May 2, and arrive in Ofunato city at next early morning. They try to put streamers at the shelter as soon as possible. And they are going to distribute hot emergency food to the people in the shelter on May 3 and 4.
