This was a personal project for my father, creating a card for father's day. Pictured is "koinobori" or koi fish flags common in Japan surrounding "Children's Day". My father has always been a fan of wind sockets and has personal memories of flying them at his late grandmother's beach house during the summer. This was a tribute to one of his favoite memories!
