Consider where to display them!
3 Key Points

 1. Consider where and how much space to decorate　

Display them outdoors? Or indoors?

When choosing koinobori, first consider where you want to display them and what size koinobori you want to display, or can display.
In recent years, there are various types of outdoor and indoor koinobori with different display methods and designs, so feel free to imagine what you like.
 

2. Measure the space while envisioning it

Measure the desired location and make a note of it, based on your image and installation plan.

　*This is a simple guideline. Please use it as a reference.

3. Tell the professional (sales staff)

Tell the sales staff the measurements of the installation location you took in step 2 and the image of the koinobori you envisioned in step 1.

Why tell the sales staff? 

"I bought koinobori but wasn't satisfied" - we actually hear this quite often.
It's not a cheap purchase, and it's purchased to celebrate your grandchild or son, so it's heartbreaking when that happens.
Sales staff are professionals who have flown many koinobori. They can tell you 'how you want to fly the koinobori' and 'what size koinobori can be flown.'
Simple measurements or past hoisting methods may not match your vision.

Based on their extensive experience, the staff will suggest koinobori that match your image as much as possible, as well as hoisting methods and sizes that will make your garden look wonderful.

What caused the 'dissatisfaction'...?

2nd Place: Incompatible equipment

・My parents bought it online and gave it to me as a gift, but when I opened it, the equipment didn't fit and I couldn't fly it, or I had to buy new equipment.

　
・I bought a popular set online, but the equipment didn't fit.

Many people contact us because they couldn't display their koinobori due to incompatible equipment.
Popular equipment sets online are often inexpensive, and people sometimes buy them because of the low price or because they are ranked highly. However, there's a reason for the low price, so please be careful.

A common reason for being cheap is that the equipment is designed for houses from a long time ago (Showa and early Heisei eras).
In particular, balconies have changed in design over time and depending on the housing manufacturer, and since they vary from house to house, care is needed with the equipment.

In recent years, overseas-made koinobori and koinobori equipment are also sold.
Some people buy inexpensive overseas-made equipment thinking "I'll only fly it once a year," but outdoor koinobori can lead to serious accidents if anything goes wrong.

Koinobori swim majestically in the sky by catching the wind. Large wind pressure is applied to each koinobori.
We recommend purchasing highly safe poles and equipment to support them.

The types of equipment are confusing! I don't know which one to choose!

In such cases, please consult with a retailer.
We will suggest the equipment that best suits your home.
　

1st Place: Choosing too small

・I chose a "smaller" one because I thought "what if it's too big," but it turned out to be too small.

　This answer is the most common failure story.

・It looked big in the store, but when I actually displayed it outside, it was small.
・The koinobori were too small for the garden and didn't look good in photos. They lacked grandeur.

For those who want to display koinobori in their garden but can only choose small sizes, yet want a festive impression, or for those whose location makes it difficult for wind to blow, we sometimes recommend a product called "Niwa Deco."

For seven years, we raise koinobori, praying for our children's growth.

May that time be enjoyable and enriching for your family, and remain a wonderful memory for your children forever.

To those who cherish memories and time loved by their families.
