You have explained the tradition well! Your account of the history of carp streamers is quite helpful. Do you have any personal experiences or memories from Children's Day or similar cultural celebrations?

Yes, I have a similar cultural celebration. While people decorate with carp streamers to wish for the healthy growth of their children especially 'boys', people decorate with the hina dolls to wish for the healthy growth of 'girls' during the Girls' Festival. It's held on March 3. On that day, people celebrate by eating cake. Both carp streamers and the hina dolls are traditional customs.

2. Use the definite article "the" instead of the preposition "that" for a better expression, since you are referring to a specific day.
That sounds nice. It's fascinating to hear about the cultural celebrations for males and girls. Do you have any specific recollections or traditions from the Girls' Festival that you would like to share?

Yes, I have a specific tradition. When I was born, my mother gave me a pretty hina doll. Also, when my mother was born, my grandma gave her it. Therefore, my hina doll have been lived for over 60 years.
