Kodomo, meaning "child" in Japanese, refers to young individuals typically under the age of 18. In Japanese culture, children are often seen as a source of joy and hope for the future. They are encouraged to learn, play, and develop their skills through various activities, including education and sports. In Japan, there are specific traditions and celebrations for children, such as Kodomo no Hi (Children's Day), celebrated on May 5th. This day honors children's happiness and well-being, featuring decorations like koinobori (carp streamers) and special foods. The focus is on fostering a nurturing environment for children to thrive.
