This Japanese folk song is traditionally sung on 5 May, ‘Children’s Day’, when families hoist cloth streamers in theshape 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.

To enhance the energy of this lively dance, the opening section should be played delicately; the suddenfortissimos will then have their full effect later in the piece as the high-kicking dance steps take centre stage!
