KOI NOBORI(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
KOI NOBORI is based on the Chinese legend of the koi (carp) which succeeded in getting to the top of the fall named Ryumon, and become a Ryu (Chinese Dragon) going up to the sky.
KOI NOBORI is a wishing symbol for boy's strengths against all possible hardships they would face.
It is also said KOI NOBORI is a sign towards God which indicates the parents' prayer asking God to "Bless our boy".
NOBORI 1 is a prospective, randomized clinical trial that will enrol 360 patients in 30 centres in Europe, Australia and Asia.
The NOBORI 1 is an equivalency study that will compare Terumo’s Nobori™, Biolimus A9 drug-eluting stent to Boston Scientific's Taxus™ Express2™ drug-eluting stent in an un-proportional 2:1 design.
The Nobori™ stent used in this study consists of three key components: the drug, the stent platform and the polymer carrier.
It referred to a particular type of banner denoting units within an army; nobori became much more common in the Sengoku period, coming into use alongside the earlier hata-jirushi.
They were long, narrow flags, attached to a pole with a cross-rod to hold the fabric straight out and prevent it from furling around the rod; this way, the flag would always remain visible and identifiable.
Though usually used to represent different divisions within an army, nobori were sometimes made identical, so as to produce an impressive and intimidating display of warrior flags.

The following essay was contributed by Katsuhisa Furukawa, a Research Associate at the Council on Foreign Relations, and Amiko Nobori, a Visiting Scholar at the Sigur Center for Asian Studies, George Washington University.
They warn that the perception gap must be closed to help build the strategic partnership between the two countries.
Both the U.S. and Japan have consistently stated that they regard their bilateral alliance as one of the major pillars of their national security strategies.
The logic escapes Teruo Nobori, and mere mention of Mr.
Nobori, a retiree from the produce business who lives in Albany, Calif. "If you were American at heart, you wanted to do all you could to make yourself a real American."
These men refused induction orders and openly urged compatriots to do the same.

Koi Nobori, literally Carp Windsock, are typically flown in spring to celebrate children.
The Nobori banners for Boy's Day in Japan are very eye-catching.
It may be rare to see them actually used today but many that we have left feature colorful drawings of Samurai warriors, heroes from the past, or characters or animals from the stories.
The word NOBORU is to climb as in to climb up, amount to someone worthy or it could simply mean something visibly towering high in the battle field.
