I’ve been working as a certified care worker for 17 years. I’m Nanaka, a caregiving web writer. I decided to pursue this profession because I wanted a job that would help people. Having worked in day care for many years, I’ve experienced a wide variety of recreational activities. Exercise set to music, in particular, always created a cheerful atmosphere and was very well received. I’d be delighted to continue delivering writing that resonates with readers through caregiving-related articles. Thank you for your support.

How about making a slightly unique koi-nobori decoration? You’ll paste koi-nobori ornaments onto a picture that serves as a background of cityscapes and sky—and amazingly, the koi-nobori move! The body is made by stringing together scale-shaped parts, so when you touch it, it wiggles and changes shape.

Depending on your mood that day, the koi can go up or down.

It’s a May wall decoration you’ll never get tired of, even if you look at it every day! It takes a little time because you make each part one by one, but that just makes you grow more attached to it.

Carp streamers and samurai helmet

Try making 3D-style carp streamers and samurai helmets! Their intricate look will boost the May festival mood.

The carp streamer is based on a rolled sheet of origami paper.

Cut one side of the origami into a triangle to form the tail, then attach the pre-cut eyes and scales to finish.

The helmet is also made with origami, but after folding, create some space inside so it stands on its own.

Connect them with thread and hang them on the wall for a cute mobile! Choosing colorful origami will make them look even more festive.
