Nagoya Sekku Kazari are essential festival decorations celebrating a child's birth and growth, featuring dolls, celebratory flags, and paper-covered lanterns. Blending eastern and western styles, Nagoya's craftsmanship rivals that of Kyoto and Tokyo, with unique touches like large carp streamers and lanterns made from local materials like Kiso wood and Mino washi paper. Originating in the Edo period, these crafts grew in popularity, and by 1916, Nagoya's techniques surpassed Kyoto's. Today, Nagoya Sekku Kazari continues to be produced in Aichi and Gifu, honoring tradition and regional artistry.
