Asesor (oficio)

Un asesor es un especialista sobre alguna materia que presta consejo sobre la misma a otra persona, generalmente un dirigente, para que adopte las decisiones adecuadas.
Usaron los Reyes antiguos de España de este oficio, teniendo algunos hombres sabios de quienes aconsejarse para el más acertado gobierno de su Reino imitando también en esto a los Romanos los cuales cuando enviaban Presidentes a las Provincias sujetas al Imperio, les asociaban alguno o algunos Jurisconsultos con cuyo parecer y dictamen decidían todo género de causas. Basta decir que gozaban de la facultad de oír a los litigantes responder a las consultas y súplicas, interpretar los derechos y dictar las sentencias de cualquier clase que fuesen, ya civiles, ya criminales que habían de dar los Presidentes en cuyo nombre se publicaban como que eran los Supremos Jueces.
En España, pues, no se estableció hasta los tiempos muy posteriores algún Senado que administrase justicia en la Monarquía y todo su cuidado cargaba sobre los hombros de su Rey a cuyo fin y para la mejor expedición de los negocios tenía ciertos Jurisconsultos que le aconsejasen lo que en justicia debía mandar y decidir en los muchos que se presentaban ante su Real Persona por apelación del Juzgado de los Adelantados y Merinos.
Estos que aquí llamamos Asesores son sin duda los que en diversas Leyes de Partida se llaman Consejeros del Rey o Emperador, por el consejo que les debían dar, sin que en ellas se enuncie estar constituidos en forma de Tribunal y sí solo reputarse como meros Asesores suyos, según aquellas palabras: E señaladamente quando dan buen consejo á los Emperadores, é á los Reyes que han de mantener la tierra en fuero, é en derecho. Y se confirma de la diferencia que la misma ley hace entre los que denomina Consejeros y los Juzgadores o Jueces. Así se denominaron aquellos dos Ministros tan condecorados que acompañaban siempre la Real Persona en los viajes, principalmente uno de ellos el cual se denominaba del Consejo de la Cámara que residía cerca de la Persona Real. Era este empleo de alto carácter y se distinguían sus Ministros con la prerrogativa de firmar los privilegios concedidos por el Rey.

Equestrian Portrait of the Count-Duke of Olivares

Gaspar de Guzmán, Count-Duke of Olivares, on Horseback (Spanish: Gaspar de Guzmán, conde-duque de Olivares, a caballo) is an oil on canvas painting by Spanish painter Diego Velázquez, made around the year 1636. It has been in the Museo del Prado in Madrid since its inauguration in 1819.
This painting is an exception for the style of Velázquez as its design and color are more vigorous and pompous than his usual more somber portraits. The object of the work was to validate the power of Gaspar de Guzman, Count of Olivares and Duke of Sanlúcar la Mayor, known as the Count-Duke of Olivares, the chief minister under Philip IV of Spain, a Spanish nobleman and influential politician.
Olivares is portrayed on horseback, an honor usually reserved for monarchs that reflects the power he attained as valido or right hand of the king (equivalent to the current prime minister's office). The picture resembles equestrian portraits Velázquez had painted for the Hall of Realms of the Buen Retiro Palace, though it was not made for this series but rather to display a particular custom of Olivares bound for home. The painting is not dated but was probably painted just after this series, around 1638, and possibly after the Battle of Fuenterrabía, a military success of the Franco–Spanish War that was attributed to Olivares although he was not personally involved. The picture did not join the royal collection at the predecessor of the Museo del Prado until a century later.
The Count-Duke wears a wide-brimmed feathered hat and the band of the State; the hand holds a marshal's baton, which marks the direction of the battle. The armor he wears is possibly preserved in the Palace of Liria of Madrid (collection of the House of Alba). The Count-Duke looks at the viewer, making sure all can witness his feat. The figure is viewed from a low viewpoint and his torso is turned back, making it look more slender; Olivares had a massive body and was rather clumsy, as seen in the portraits that Velázquez had done before.
The horse raises its front legs, performing a somersault or levade as it looks toward the battlefield. Drawing a diagonal from the hills that can be seen in the landscape, the composition provides energy to the portraiture; in this dynamism, the work reminds of Rubens. This equestrian portrait differs from those made for the royal family and is believed to have been suggested by Olivares; Velázquez had to take particular care, as Olivares was the highest political office of the court (after the king) and had supported him in his early days as a painter in Madrid.
The battle in the distance is treated with small spots. The landscape is very schematic, as is typical of Velázquez, with no buildings or characters. Perhaps it is because the painter did not know the town of Hondarribia, where the battle happened as described, although other sources believe the painting does not refer to any particular battle. The hills fade in green and blue tones, providing a feeling of remoteness, for it is said to have a very sharp aerial perspective.
The rich chromaticism and treatment of light give the scene a great vitality.

Military ranks of the Philippines

The Military ranks of Philippines are the military insignia used by the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
The current Philippine military ranks are inspired partially by the first military insignia used by the military forces during the Philippine Revolution of 1896 and the Philippine–American War, and the insignia used by the Philippine Constabulary raised in 1902 during the final days of the Philippine–American War, which was basically the same style of insignia used by the United States Army at that time. Elements of both the US army ranks and the old Philippine Army appear in the current ranks; this was reflected at the general officers insignia and enlisted ranks that resembled those of the US military (the silver stars used by generals and admirals were used by field grade officers in the First Republic), the field officers (like colonels), whose insignia are suns, use those insignia used by general officers of the Revolutionary Army. Company rank insignia (i.e. captain), consisting of a silver triangle, are a recent creation. Both company grade and field grade officer insignia have the baybayin letter ka (K) in the middle, another throwback to the days of the war for independence, and even in the medal used by second-level members of the Katipunan during meetings, in which the letter is in the center.
The current AFP insignia used today are a modification of the system first used in 1954–55 as part of the Filipinization of the military forces by then President and former Secretary of National Defense Ramon Magsaysay, ending years of the US-styled rank system in place since 1935. Prior to that period, the Philippines used the same rank insignia of the United States Armed Forces with modifications for Philippine conditions.
The rank insignia of commissioned officers.
The rank insignia of non-commissioned officers and enlisted personnel.
These rank insignia for the nascent army were created in late 1896, replacing the earlier rank insignia used by the Katipuneros containing the letter K (ka). Ranks were then worn on the sleeves of all uniforms.
Shoulder epaulette insignia was introduced in late 1898, some time after the declaration of Philippine independence. It is worthy of mention that the insignia for the rank of Second Lieutenant and Major has three silver and gold stars, respectively, and the number of stars are reduced when promoted.
The Philippine Army during the Commonwealth period as well as after independence - as well as the Air Force beginning 1947 - used essentially the same rank insignias as the United States Army. The main difference is the addition of a rank named third lieutenant and the five-star rank of Field Marshal.
Spanish Campaign Medal

The Spanish Campaign Medal was a military award of the United States Armed Forces which recognized those men of the U.S. military who had served in the Spanish–American War. Although a single decoration, there were two versions of the Spanish Campaign Medal, one for men of the United States Army and another for the forces of the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps.
The Army medal was designed by Francis Davis Millet while the Navy and Marines medals were designed by Rudolf Freund (1878–1960) of Bailey Banks & Biddle.
Early versions of the Spanish Campaign Medal suspended the medal from a gold and red ribbon, but this design was changed in 1913 upon request from Spain that a United States service medal not bear the colors of the Spanish nation. The new medal was suspended from a blue and yellow ribbon. Separate medallions existed for both the Navy and Army. Marine Corps recipients received the Navy version with the seal of the United States Marine Corps on the reverse of the medal.
The only device authorized to the Spanish Campaign Medal was the Citation Star and then only for U.S. Army recipients of the decoration.
The Army version of the Spanish Campaign Medal was established on 12 January 1905. It was awarded for military service performed between 11 May and 16 August 1898 in the geographical regions of either Cuba, Puerto Rico, or the Philippine Islands. As of 1 July 1923, a total of 7,667 medals were awarded.
For those men of the Army who had served on active duty during the Spanish–American War, but had not been deployed in action, a separate medal was established in 1918, known as the Spanish War Service Medal.
The Navy version of the Spanish Campaign Medal was created on 27 June 1908 and issued to any man of either the Navy or Marine Corps who had served in Cuban, Puerto Rican, or Philippine waters between 21 April and 16 August 1898 on select ships. Altogether, crews of 47 ships were eligible for the medal.
For service in the West Indies, the Navy awarded the West Indies Campaign Medal as well as the Sampson Medal which was authorized by a joint resolution of Congress in 1901. In 1913, the Navy discontinued the award of the West Indies Campaign Medal and extended the criteria of the Spanish Campaign Medal to any man of the Navy or Marine Corps who had served on active duty during the Spanish–American War. The ribbon was also changed from red and yellow to blue and yellow in order not to offend the colors of Spain.
Antonio de Oro

Antonio de Oro Pulido (Ciempozuelos (Madrid), 13 April 1904 – Tetuán, 28 December 1940) was a Spanish military officer, explorer and colonial administrator.
Oro came to the Spanish territories in Africa with the rank of captain, and eventually rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel. In 1938, he founded the city of El Aaiún, which in 1940 became the capital of Spanish Sahara. He died on 28 December 1940 from sudden sepsis.
There is a street named after him in Ciempozuelos (Calle Capitán Antonio de Oro).
Tragic Week (Spain)

Tragic Week (in Catalan la Setmana Tràgica, in Spanish la Semana Trágica) (25 July – 2 August 1909) was a series of violent confrontations between the Spanish army and anarchists, freemasons, socialists and republicans of Barcelona and other cities in Catalonia, Spain, during the last week of July 1909. It was caused by the calling-up of reserve troops by Premier Antonio Maura to be sent as reinforcements when Spain renewed military-colonial activity in Morocco on 9 July, in what is known as the Second Rif War. Many of these reservists were the only breadwinners for their families, while the wealthy were able to hire substitutes. The figureheads most associated with the unrest were Alejandro Lerroux and Francisco Ferrer.
The incident began when a party of conscripts, destined for Morocco, boarded ships owned by the marquess of Comillas, a prominent Catholic industrialist. The soldiers were the subject of patriotic addresses, the playing of the Royal March, and the distribution of religious medals by well dressed ladies. The conscripts remained silent but many of the onlookers jeered and whistled, and emblems of the Sacred Heart were thrown into the sea.
By Tuesday, workers had occupied much of central Barcelona, halting troop trains and overturning trams. By Thursday, there was street fighting, with a general eruption of riots, strikes, and the burning of convents. Many of the rioters were antimilitarist, anticolonial and anticlerical. The rioters considered the Roman Catholic Church a part of the corrupt middle and upper class whose sons did not have to go to war, and much public opinion had been turned against the Church by anarchist elements within the city. Thus, not only were convents burned, but sepulchers were profaned and graves were emptied.

Mustang (military officer)

Mustang is a military slang term used in the United States Armed Forces to refer to a commissioned officer who began their career as an enlisted service member. A mustang officer is not a temporary or brevet promotion but is a commissioned officer who receives more pay according to their rank of O1-E, O2-E, etc., but has no more command responsibilities than those of any commissioned officer of the same grade.
Mustang officers are generally older than their peers-in-grade who have been commissioned from one of the service academies (such as the United States Merchant Marine Academy, United States Military Academy, United States Air Force Academy, United States Naval Academy, or United States Coast Guard Academy), Officer Candidate School, or the Reserve Officer Training Corps.
The term "mustang" refers to the mustang horse, a feral animal and not a thoroughbred, which is captured and tamed.
The original definition of mustang was a military officer who had earned a battlefield commission; they were especially prevalent during World War II and the Korean War. Notable examples include Audie Murphy (World War II) and David Hackworth (Korean War). During the Vietnam War, some army warrant officer pilots were offered a direct commission to 2nd or 1st Lieutenant, while usually being younger than 25 at the time of commission. Department of Defense military pay tables authorize approximately ten percent pay premiums for officers in grades O-1, O-2 and O-3 who have credit for over four years of enlisted or warrant officer service before commissioning (Grades O-1E, O-2E, O-3E).
A mustang is characterized by former enlisted service before transitioning to officer rank. As a slang term, there is no official U.S. Government definition or set of criteria to determine which officers can properly be called a mustang. By the end of World War II, it was understood across the armed forces that a Mustang was an officer with service in the enlisted ranks before commissioning.
A similar term is Maverick used for the same reason.
A United States Navy or United States Marine Corps mustang officer can be a chief warrant officer, a limited duty officer, a staff corps officer, a restricted line officer or an unrestricted line officer, depending on the particular situation.
General officer

A general officer is an officer of high rank in the armies, and in some nations' air and space forces, marines or naval infantry.
In some usages, the term "general officer" refers to a rank above colonel.
The adjective general had been affixed to officer designations since the late medieval period to indicate relative superiority or an extended jurisdiction.
Other nomenclatures for general officers include the titles and ranks:
In addition to militarily educated generals, there are also generals in medicine and engineering. The rank of the most senior chaplain, (chaplain general), is also usually considered to be a general officer rank.
In the old European system, a general, without prefix or suffix (and sometimes referred to informally as a "full general"), is usually the most senior type of general, above lieutenant general and directly below field marshal as a four-star rank (NATO OF-9).
Usually it is the most senior peacetime rank, with more senior ranks (for example, field marshal, marshal of the air force, fleet admiral) being used only in wartime or as honorary titles.
In some armies, however, the rank of captain general, general of the army, army general or colonel general occupied or occupies this position. Depending on circumstances and the army in question, these ranks may be considered to be equivalent to a "full" general or to a field marshal five-star rank (NATO OF-10).
The rank of general came about as a "captain-general", the captain of an army in general (i.e., the whole army). The rank of captain-general began appearing around the time of the organisation of professional armies in the 17th century. In most countries "captain-general" contracted to just "general".
The following articles deal with the rank of general, or its equivalent, as it is or was employed in the militaries of those countries:
Some countries (such as the United States) use the general officer ranks for both the army and the air force, as well as their marine corps; other states only use the general officer ranks for the army, while in the air force they use air officers as the equivalent of general officers. They use the air force rank of air chief marshal as the equivalent of the specific army rank of general. This latter group includes the British Royal Air Force and many current and former Commonwealth air forces—e.g. Royal Australian Air Force, Indian Air Force, Royal New Zealand Air Force, Nigerian Air Force, Pakistan Air Force, etc.
In most navies, flag officers are the equivalent of general officers, and the naval rank of admiral is equivalent to the specific army rank of general. A noteworthy historical exception was the Cromwellian naval rank "general at sea". In recent years in the American service there is a tendency to use flag officer and flag rank to refer to generals and admirals of the services collectively.
Military ranks of the Colombian Armed Forces

The military ranks of the Colombian armed forces consist of the list and ordering of the different military ranks, for the Officers, Non-commissioned officers (NCOs) and soldiers, seamen and airmen ("other ranks") of the Military Forces of Colombia. The ranks are visually represented by insignias placed on the uniforms, usually at the shoulders, sleeves and shirt collars.
A literal translation from Spanish to English may be misleading as the rank names do not necessarily follow the customary order used in anglophone military ranks in all cases. Furthermore, Colombia is not a member of NATO, so there is not an official equivalence between the Colombian military ranks and those defined by NATO. The displayed parallel is approximate and for illustration purposes only.
The ranks in the Military Forces of Colombia are regulated through the following applicable legislation: the Decree-Law 1790 of 2000, Law 1405 of 2010, and Law 1792 of 2016
In terms of protocol, the established order for the forces is Army, Navy, Air Force, Police, as established by the Military Rules of Protocol (Reglamento de Protocolo Militar FFMM)
The Colombian Army is the largest of the three service branches of the Military Forces of Colombia, tasked with defending sovereignty and law and order across the national territory. The tables below display the rank structures and rank insignias for the Colombian Army personnel.
Dragoneantes are soldiers who have gained recognition through their achievements and have special training. They have a certain degree of authority over regular soldiers.
The Colombian Navy (Spanish: Armada de la República de Colombia) is the maritime service branch of the Military Forces of Colombia, responsible for security and defense in both the Atlantic (Caribbean) and Pacific seas of Colombia, the extensive network of rivers inside the country, and a few small land areas under its direct jurisdiction. The tables below display the rank structures and rank insignias for the Colombian Navy personnel.
In Colombia, the Marine Infantry is a Corps depending on the Colombian Navy and not a full service branch on its own. Being tasked with amphibious and riverine and littoral operations, the MI presents a combination of ranking names derived from the Army, combined with naval insignias. The tables below display the rank structures and rank insignias for the Colombian Marine Infantry personnel.
The Colombian Aerospace Force is the service branch of the Military Forces of Colombia tasked with the protection and defense of the Colombian sovereign airspace. The tables below display the rank structures and rank insignias for the Colombian Aerospace Force personnel.
Military of Åland

Åland is demilitarised. This means that there may be no military presence and that the Islands may not be fortified. Åland is also neutralised, and must therefore be kept outside of war in case of a conflict. However, the Finnish Border Guard operates from stations in Mariehamn and Kökar, in case of a crisis these units could be transferred from the interior ministry to the defence ministry, thus becoming part of the military. Currently as being part of the interior ministry they do not constitute a military force and are thus not in violation of Åland's demilitarisation.
When Åland was incorporated into the Russian Empire in 1809 the Islands’ new rulers initiated the construction of a large fortress at Bomarsund on the eastern side of the main island. During the Crimean War French and British troops attacked and seized the fortress, and at the ensuing peace negotiations held in Paris in 1856 Åland was demilitarised through a one-sided commitment from Russia.
When the League of Nations resolved the issue of Åland's constitutional affiliation in 1921 a decision was also taken to draw up an international convention. The convention, which confirmed the demilitarisation of 1856 and also neutralised Åland, was signed by ten states. Russia is not a party to the 1921 convention, but the 1940 Moscow Treaty on the Åland Islands and the 1947 Paris Peace Treaty contain provisions on the demilitarisation of Åland. Neutralisation is not mentioned, however.
Those who have right of domicile and moved to Åland before the age 12 are exempt from military service.

Fouesnant

Fouesnant (French pronunciation: [fwɛnɑ̃]; Fouenant or Fouen in Breton) is a commune in the Finistère department of Brittany in north-western France. Fouesnant is bordered to the south by the Baie de La Forêt.
It lies on the south coast of Finistère and is bordered by the communes of: Bénodet and Pleuven to the west, Saint-Évarzec to the north, and La Forêt-Fouesnant to the east. It has 15 km of coastline on its south side, with a long beach running west between the headlands of Beg-Meil and Mousterlin, as well as Cap-Coz just to the east at the top of the Baie de la Foret, making it a tourist destination. The town is in a very fertile area, is home to a number of orchards and is regarded as the source of the best Breton cider. This is celebrated each July with the Fete des Pommiers (Festival of the Apple Trees), an event that takes over the town centre with music, dance and various competitions. Fouesnant hosts a street market in and around the town square every Friday morning.
The Glénan Islands, approximately 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) offshore, are administratively part of the commune of Fouesnant.
Inhabitants of Fouesnant are called in French Fouesnantais.
Baie de La Forêt

The Baie de La Forêt (Breton: Bae Ar C'hoad) is a small bay on the south coast of Brittany, France. The bay is located between Beg Meil (Fouesnant) and Cabellou (Concarneau).

Fontange

A fontange, or frelange, is a high headdress popular during the turn of the late 17th and early 18th centuries in Europe.
Technically, fontanges are only part of the assembly, referring to the decorative ribbon bows, linen, and lace, and the small linen cap beneath which support the frelange. The frelange was supported by a wire framework called a commode. Along with hair being worn in tight curls of hair worn at the top of the head and the frills described, making up the fontange's elaborate decoration were lappets draping the side of the face or back of the wearer's head.
Further, the term "fontange" is also used by some writers to refer to the associated hairstyle or the combination of headdress and hairstyle. The 'fontange coiffure' was a hairstyle where the front of the hair was worn curled and piled high above the forehead in front of the frelange, which was always higher than the hair. Sometimes the hairstyle was supported by a wire framework called a pallisade.
A surviving example of a frelange headdress with fontanges and commode in situ is that worn by the 1690s fashion doll Lady Clapham. In England, the style was popularly known as a 'top-knot', versions of which were worn by ladies of all ranks, from the Queen downwards to kitchen maids, making it an easy target for satire and criticism.
The fontange is said to be named for the Duchesse de Fontange, a mistress of King Louis XIV of France. One version of the story is that after losing her cap while hunting with the King, the Marquise tied her hair up using a ribbon in a manner that pleased him, and this was imitated by the other ladies at court, subsequently spreading across Europe. What started out as a simple headdress of folded ribbon in the 1680s became, with additional fabric, lace and trimmings, taller and more complex, increasingly difficult to create and wear. Despite its courtly origins, fontanges were forbidden to be worn at French state occasions, although the English court accepted them, with Queen Mary having her portrait painted wearing one.
The word fontange was later used to describe the edging and centre ribbon of a corsage, in about 1850.
Georges Robin

Georges Robin (1904–1928), also known as Jorj Robin, was a sculptor and designer from Nantes.
Robin was a member of the Breton nationalist art movement Seiz Breur, working at the magazine Kornog, founded by the movement's leader René-Yves Creston. He created sculptures and embroidery designs for the workshop Nadoziou (needles) based in Nantes.
With other members of Seiz Breur he took part in the founding of the Nantes Celtic Circle, lending his design studio for its classes in the Breton language. He also created a project for a Breton language choir.
After his early death at the age of 24, he was commemorated in a special edition of the journal Keltia, written by Creston and Paul Ladmirault.

こいのぼり

こいのぼり（鯉幟）は、日本の風習で、江戸時代に武家で始まった端午の節句に男児の健やかな成長を願って家庭の庭先に飾る鯉の形に模して作ったのぼり。紙・布・不織布などに鯉の絵柄を描いたもので、風を受けてたなびくようになっている。皐幟（さつきのぼり）、鯉の吹き流しとも言う。日本鯉のぼり協会の統一見解では屋外に飾るものを「鯉のぼり」、屋内に飾るものを「飾り鯉」という。
もとは旧暦の5月5日までの行事であったが、現代ではグレゴリオ暦（新暦）5月5日に向けて飾られるようになり、イメージは「晩春の晴天の日の青空にたなびくもの」となった。ただし、地方により、端午の節句を祝う時期が違うので、旧暦の端午やひと月遅れのグレゴリオ暦（新暦）6月5日とする地方もある。
初期の鯉のぼりは真鯉（黒い鯉）だったが、やがて真鯉（まごい）と緋鯉（ひごい）の二色となり、さらに青鯉も加わって家族を表すようになった（後述）。ただし、過渡的に黒と青だけという組み合わせも見られた。また、真鯉に赤い裸の男の子がしがみついている柄のものがあるが、これは金太郎とみられ金太郎が自分より大きい鯉を捕まえた伝説をもとにしているとみられる。
最近では緑やオレンジ、紫、ピンクといった、より華やかな色の子鯉も普及してきており、所によっては女の子も含め家族全員の分の鯉を上げる家もある。暖色の子鯉の増加はそういった需要に応えてのことのようである。カラフルな子鯉は1964年の東京オリンピックの頃、ある鯉のぼり職人が五輪の色をヒントに考えたという。
さおの先に回転球やかご玉、その下に矢車を付け、吹流しを一番上に以下、真鯉、緋鯉、青鯉と大きさの順に並べて揚げるのが一般的。吹流しはもともと五色の「五色吹流し」であったが、のちに彩雲や瑞祥、飛龍、鯉などを描いた「柄物吹流し」も登場した。
明治以前は和紙でできたものがほとんどだった。明治後半に綿製、昭和30年代に合成繊維製へと切り替わった。しかし少子化や住宅事情の変化（庭付き一戸建て住宅の減少とマンションなど集合住宅の増加）さらに節句に対する価値観の変化から、民家の庭にこいのぼりが揚がる姿を見ることは少なくなっていて、ベランダや玄関脇、室内に飾る小型のこいのぼりが増えている。室内に置くものは鯉飾りと呼ばれることがある。
高速道路などでは風速・風向を示す吹流しが、4月・5月にはこいのぼりに取って代えられる場合もある。
こいのぼりは節句祝いに用いるが、主に宣伝・イベント用のサバ、マグロ、タイ、フグなどを模した異なる魚種ののぼりもある。
節句の行事は平安時代からとされているが、もともと武家には端午の結句に向けて玄関に幟（のぼり）や旗指物を飾る風習があった。端午の節句には厄払いに菖蒲を用いることから、別名「菖蒲の節句」と呼ばれ、武家では菖蒲と「尚武」と結びつけて男児の立身出世・武運長久を祈る年中行事となった。
江戸時代中期になると商人がこの風習を行うようになった。ある町人が幟の竿頭の招代（おぎしろ）と呼ばれる小旗のようなものを中国の登龍門の故事から鯉を象ったものにかえて掲げたところ、それが広まり次第に大型化したものが鯉のぼりとされている。
逸話として、武士の家が端午の節句に幟を飾って祝っているのを見た町人の子が同じものを欲しいと父親にねだるが、身分制度の手前町人が真似する訳にはいかず困っているところを赤荻柳和という武士が染物屋に鯉の絵の染めて、それを吹流し状にしたものを作らせ、町人の子に与えたことが由来とも言われている。
「江戸っ子は皐月の鯉の吹流し」と言われるように、こいのぼりは「幟（のぼり）」とは名づけられているものの、形状は魚を模した吹流し形である。
これは主に江戸を含む関東地方の風習で当時の関西（上方）には無い風習であった。天保9年（1838年）の『東都歳時記』には「出世の魚といへる諺により」鯉を幟（のぼり）に飾り付けるのは「東都の風俗なりといへり」とある。
中国の正史、二十四史の一つである後漢書による故事で、黄河の急流にある竜門と呼ばれる滝を多くの魚が登ろうと試みたが鯉のみが登り切り、竜になることができたことにちなんで鯉の滝登りが立身出世の象徴となった。栄達するための難関を「登竜門」と呼ぶのも、この故事にもとづく。
初期の鯉のぼりは真鯉（黒い鯉）の一色のみだった。歌川広重の『名所江戸百景』では大きな真鯉一匹が描かれている。
明治時代後半から大正時代にかけて真鯉（黒い鯉）と緋鯉（赤い鯉）の二匹を一対であげるようになった。緋鯉（ひごい）はもともと男児を表しており、昭和6年の童謡『こいのぼり』でも真鯉を父親、緋鯉を子どもとしている。しかし、昭和30年代後半にはさらに小さい青鯉が加えられ、家族観の変化なども相まって緋鯉（赤い鯉）は母親、青鯉が子どもと再定義されるようになった。まもなく兄弟姉妹を表す鯉として緑やピンク、紫の鯉も含まれるようになった。
日本では全国各地でこいのぼりにちなんだ行事が取り行なわれる。
こいのぼりは、いくつかの唱歌・童謡で歌われている。
特に、口語調の3番目のものと、文語調の2番目のものが有名である。
Unicode6.0において、Carp Streamerの名称で、こいのぼりの絵文字が採用されている。
こいのぼり (近藤宮子)

『こいのぼり』は童謡、唱歌。作詞は近藤宮子、作曲は不明。1993年までは近藤は作詞者として認められなかったため、近藤が1999年まで存命だったにもかかわらず歌詞の著作権は既に消滅している。
やねより たかい こいのぼり おおきい まごいは おとうさん ちいさい ひごいは こどもたち おもしろそうに およいでる
1931年（昭和6年）12月に刊行された『エホンショウカ ハルノマキ』が初出。
長年著作権者は日本教育音楽協会とされていたが、著作権が切れる1982年（昭和57年）に日本教育音楽協会の元会長の小出浩平に作詞者を変更した。近藤はこの曲を含めた6曲が自分が作詞した曲であると訴え、裁判を起こして勝訴し、作詞者が再び変更された。
この歌詞では真鯉を父親、緋鯉を子どもとしている。鯉のぼりは明治時代後半から大正時代にかけて真鯉（黒い鯉）と緋鯉（赤い鯉）の二匹を一対であげるようになったが、武家発祥の行事であったこともあり真鯉と緋鯉は父と子（男児）を表していたとされる。第二次大戦後、昭和30年代後半には小さい青鯉が加えられるようになり、家族観の変化なども相まって鯉のぼりの構成は緋鯉（赤い鯉）が母親、青鯉が子どもと再定義されるようになった。
1987年には、イタリアの国際児童歌唱コンクール「第30回ゼッキーノ・ドーロ」の出場曲に選ばれ、『L'aquilone dei sogni（夢のような凧）』という題のイタリア語歌曲として日本人出場者により歌われた。イタリア語詞はアレッサンドラ・ヴァレリ=マネーラ(it)による。
2007年に「日本の歌百選」に選ばれた。
2017年の保育士実技試験（前期）課題曲に取り上げられた。
フジテレビの子供向け番組『じゃじゃじゃじゃ〜ン!』で、町あかりが「歌のお姉さん」として替え歌「宇宙をおよぐ!こいのぼり」を歌い、2019年発売のアルバム『あかりおねえさんのニコニコへんなうた』に収録された。
加須市

加須市（かぞし）は、埼玉県の利根地域（北東部）に位置する市。旧北埼玉郡。
2010年3月に旧加須市・北埼玉郡騎西町・大利根町・北川辺町が新設合併して誕生した。県内の市町村で唯一、北関東の群馬・茨城・栃木の3県に全て隣接する自治体である。
読み方は主に尻上がりのアクセントで「かぞ」と発音するが、駅のアナウンスなどでは熊谷市や羽生市、久喜市と同様、尻下がりのアクセントで「かぞ」と発音されることがある。
埼玉県の北東端に位置する。隣の久喜市とともに利根地域の中心的な都市の一つである。
加須・大利根地域と北川辺地域の間に利根川が流れ、市の北東部に渡良瀬川と渡良瀬遊水地がある。地形としては概ね低地（加須低地）に属し平坦であるが、市域の海抜は15メートル以上あり、一部は台地状（沖積台地）になっている部分もある（カスリーン台風では利根川の旧河道（会の川）の自然堤防上に発達した加須市街地は浸水を免れた）。市の中心部を東西に東武伊勢崎線および国道125号・加須羽生バイパスが横断している。南北に東北自動車道が貫いており、加須インターチェンジがある。南西部の騎西地域を国道122号・同騎西菖蒲バイパスが通る。さらに北東部の北川辺地域を東武日光線が通り、同地域内に駅が2つある。また、東西方向に国道354号が走り、茨城県古河市と群馬県邑楽郡板倉町をつなぐ。
渡良瀬遊水地付近は県境が非常に入り組んでおり、次々と県が変わる（埼玉・群馬・栃木）。堤防に沿って埼玉県道9号佐野古河線が通っている。埼玉県から直接栃木県へ入る事のできる道路は、この県道と堤防下を走る市道だけでアクセスはあまり便利ではない。また埼玉県と栃木県を結ぶ主要幹線（国道4号、東北自動車道、東北本線（宇都宮線）、東北新幹線）はいずれも茨城県古河市の一部を経由して栃木県に入る。
埼玉県の自治体で、唯一栃木県に面している。
古くは「加増（かそ）」と読み、新田として石高を加増されたことに因む地名が元禄時代に「加須」へ改められた説がある。そのほか、利根川本流の「河洲（かす）」が転じたという説や、光明寺の開基を行った人物である「加須内蔵丞長高」の姓「加須」に因んだとする説がある。
2000年の国勢調査で11万7777人を記録して以降、市全体としては減少傾向にある。
一方で旧市町別では、旧大利根町が市境に近い栗橋駅の橋上駅舎化・西口開設に伴い、隣接する旧栗橋町と共に「栗橋・大利根土地区画整理一部事務組合」を設立後、栗橋駅西（大利根地区）土地区画整理事業を実施、さらに南に隣接する野中土地区画整理事業は施工中であり、そのため増加傾向にある。
下記の情報より新・加須市と旧・加須市の情報が交錯しているため、合併前の旧3町の情報については「騎西町」・「北川辺町」・「大利根町」を参照されたい。
旧加須市は、新市名を加須市（新設合併）として隣接する北埼玉郡騎西町との合併を目指していた。しかし、2004年8月22日の住民投票の結果、旧加須市が反対多数で合併は撤回となった。
北葛飾郡栗橋町・北埼玉郡北川辺町・北埼玉郡大利根町は「東埼玉市」の新設を予定していたが、当時の大利根町の島田徳三が、合併協議会の会長を務めながら大利根町内の反対派の動きを静観したこともあり、2004年9月26日に行われた大利根町の合併の是非を問う投票で反対票が賛成票を上回り、合併協議会は解散した。
2008年9月3日に旧加須市の当時の市長である大橋良一が、北埼玉郡騎西町・北埼玉郡大利根町・北埼玉郡北川辺町に対して1市3町の合併を提案したことが明らかになった。3町は前向きな姿勢を示し、1市3町全ての議会で合併推進決議が採択され、同年11月17日に法定協議会が設置されることになった。また隣接し、同じ地域に属している羽生市が、市名・市役所の場所にはこだわらず編入合併でも構わない姿勢で参加の意向を示した。羽生市の協議会への参加は見送られたが、羽生市を含む2市3町の5首長による会談の場は設けられることになった。
1市3町による合併（新設合併）は2010年3月23日に行われ、同日をもって新市制による加須市となった。
加須文化・学習センター「パストラルかぞ」は、1,005席の大ホールと300席の小ホールを備え、展示、会議、研修、練習等を可能とした総合的な文化施設である。 芸術文化活動の拠点として、生涯学習活動の場として利用される。 外観の特徴はガラスのピラミッドであり、大小のホールを持つ巨大な建物。建物内には長く明るいクロスパスという通路が大ホール、生涯学習棟、小ホールをT字型に連なり、その交点には外光の差し込むピラミッドの空間グローバルホールがある。
加須市では、一部の区域で住居表示に関する法律に基づく住居表示が実施されている。住居表示実施前の町名等欄で下線がある町名はその全部、それ以外はその一部であり、町名の末尾に数字がある場合には丁目を表す。
他に、2008年4月、埼玉県立不動岡誠和高等学校と埼玉県立騎西高等学校が統合し開校した、埼玉県立誠和福祉高等学校が羽生市との市境上にある。学校所在地は羽生市。
市外局番は旧北川辺町域を除く区域が「0480」（久喜MA）。旧北川辺町域のみ「0280」（古河MA）。
郵便番号は旧加須市域が「347-00xx」、旧騎西町域が「347-01xx」、旧北川辺町域が「349-12xx」、旧大利根町域が「349-11xx」である。
東京都市圏（東京通勤圏）でありながら市内の工業団地などの産業・雇用で周辺の羽生市などからの労働人口流入もあり、加須都市圏を形成している。埼玉県において米の生産・作付面積が第一位であり、産出額も37億5千万円（2021年）で県内1位である。小麦も県内上位の作付け面積で加須うどんが有名。「加須の手打ちうどん」とも呼ばれる。こいのぼりの生産数が日本一を誇る。
工業団地
かつては北川辺出張所が存在したが、2017年8月末をもって古河支店へ統合・廃止された。
これ以外にも、旧大利根町区域を中心に久喜市のJR東日本東北本線（宇都宮線）栗橋駅を最寄り駅とする地域がある。線路も市の東側をかすめているが、市域内に駅はない。
タクシーの営業区域は県北交通圏で、熊谷市・深谷市・本庄市・行田市・羽生市などと同じである。
幟

幟（のぼり）は、日本における旗の形式のひとつ。長辺の一方と上辺を竿にくくりつけたものを指す。
神社仏閣や例大祭の奉納として社（やしろ）名や感謝の意を捧げるもの、スポーツの場や競技大会等における応援メッセージやスローガンなどを掲げるもの、選挙や店先で販売促進用に用いられるものなど現在では様々な分野において使用されている。
日本の古来からの風習として神社や寺院、祭礼の場など神聖なるものとして掲げられていた。
平安時代以来、武士たちは軍容を誇示したり、自軍と敵軍との識別をおこなうために、長い布の短辺に木を通して紐で吊り上げて風になびかせる、丈の高い流れ旗を軍団の象徴として掲げた。
時代が下って室町時代になると武家の一族間での争いが増加し、同じ流れ旗と同じ家紋を用いる敵味方の判断に混乱を生じるようになった。このため、布地の長辺の一方と上辺のあわせてふたつの辺を旗竿に結びつけることで流れ旗との識別を容易にした幟が発案され、全国の武家へと徐々に広まっていったとされる。
幟はそれまでの流れ旗に置き換わっただけではなく、管理がしやすいことから戦国時代を経て幅広く利用されるようになった。纏と呼ばれる馬印や旗差物などに幟が用いられ、日本における軍旗の一形式となった。
近代までの軍用の幟は、綿もしくは絹の織物を用いた。布の寸法は由来となった流れ旗に準じ、高さを1丈2尺（約3m60cm）、幅を二幅（約76cm）前後が標準的であった。このほか、馬印や纏に用いられる四方（しほう）と呼ばれるほぼ正方形の幟や、四半（しはん）と呼ばれる縦横比が3対2の比率（四方の縦半分ともされる）の幟が定型化する。もっともこれらはあくまで一般的な寸法であり、家によって由緒のある寸法を規定することや、流行に左右されることもあった。
また旗竿への留め方によって、乳（ち）と呼ばれる布製の筒によって竿に固定する乳付旗（ちつきばた）と、旗竿への接合部分を袋縫いにして竿に直接縫い付けることによって堅牢性を増した縫含旗（ぬいふくめばた）に区別できる。
旗竿は千段巻と呼ばれる紐を巻いた漆塗りの樫材や竹を用い、幟の形態に応じて全体をトの字型あるいはΓ字にした形状にして布を通した。
現代の幟は、おもに広告用の資材として利用されている。前述の乳付旗に準じた形状の幟であり、何点かの乳を使って前述の逆L字状の竿に結わえて固定する。布の寸法の比率に基準はないものの、空間を効率的に利用しつつ布面に文言を記載するために縦長の形状になる。
様々なタイプのものが開発されてきている。
・棒袋のぼり
ちちの部分を棒袋状に仕立てることで設置が簡単になり、かつ巻き上がり防止にもなる。
かつては旗竿に竹を使用したこともあったが、昨今では金属パイプに塗料を塗布表面処理を施した既製品や、合成樹脂素材で成形した既製品を利用している。
布は価格を如何に安く抑えるかを主眼に合成繊維が用いられるようになっている。薄い生地であるポンジを用いて片面印刷になっているものが多い。木綿などに比べ耐久性は低い。
また、軍用品として戦場で兵卒が常に携行することをふまえていた近世以前とは違なり、「台座に固定して無人での管理を前提としていること」も、特徴である。
安価な大量生産のものは版を使用したシルクスクリーンプリントや小ロットにも対応できるインクジェットプリントがある。かつては染め抜きで作られ、裏面の色抜けが重要（当たり前）とされていたがインクジェットの普及とそれにちなんだ小ロットのコスト削減の優先により裏面の色抜けの重要性が薄れてきている。
一方で、道路や歩道などに設置される広告用の幟には、通行の妨害になる、景観を損ねる，歩行者や車からの見通しを妨げ、交通安全の観点から危険といった批判も多い。また、台風などの強風時には、土台ごと転倒したり飛ばされる危険もある。プリント技術の進歩によりインクの耐候性は上がっているが少量の水が付着すると色流れの場合がある。
