Happy Vasek! 🪷
Also known as Buddha Jayanti, Buddha Purnima, or more traditionally as "Buddha Day", Vesak - taking place on May 23rd - commemorates the birth, enlightenment and passing of Siddhartha Gautama (more commonly known as the Buddha).
May 6th marks the final day of Japan's Golden Week. Known as "Kodomo no hi", the celebration is famous for its flying koinobori: carp-shaped windsocks.
Happy Children's Day, Japan! 🇯🇵
