Boys’ Day Display

The Club marks Japan’s Boys’ Day national holiday in samurai style.

The first-floor Family Lobby features a traditional samurai suit of armor display and colorful carp streamers hung from the ceiling.

The May 5 national holiday—now known as Children’s Day—was originally a time for families to honor their male offspring with symbols of vitality and strength.

The samurai armor display is provided by Yoshitoku, a Tokyo-based doll company established in the early 18th century, which also supplies the ornate Girls’ Day display each February to March.

Families with boys often display a samurai figure or kabuto helmet at home and hang a carp streamer outside during this period.
