This Japanese folk song is traditionally sung on 5 May, ‘Children’s Day’, when families hoist cloth streamers in the
shape of carp (‘koinobori’) into the air to honour their children. This piece uses a five-note (or pentatonic) scale,
so you could play it on the black notes only in the key of F sharp major, making every note into a sharp.
