Auspicious fish that brings happiness and wealth
Goldfish have long been called "kinyo" in China and have been loved as a very auspicious fish, signifying financial abundance.
It was introduced to Japan during the Muromachi period, and was prized by aristocrats and samurai for its beautiful appearance and graceful swimming style.
During the Edo period, goldfish became popular among the common people, and they came to be known as "fish that bring good fortune" and "symbols of good luck."
In particular, the character "kin" (gold) in goldfish represents wealth and prosperity, and it is believed that its graceful swimming will ward off misfortune and bring good fortune.
Also, because goldfish swim freely in the water, they represent a free and unrestrained life and a wish for carefree growth.
The deeper meaning of goldfish in Tsurushi Hina dolls
Adding goldfish to hanging Hina dolls decorations symbolizes deep love for your child and hopes for their future.
First of all, goldfish symbolize wealth and prosperity, and this represents the parents' wish that their child will live a prosperous and happy life in the future.
Also, inspired by the graceful and beautiful way goldfish swim, it is hoped that children will develop beautiful manners and dignity and become people who are loved by those around them.
Furthermore, the image of goldfish swimming freely in the water also expresses the wish that your child will be able to live their life true to themselves, without giving in to difficulties.
It is an important motif in Hinamatsuri, a festival for girls, and it embodies prayers for future happiness and a beautiful life.

In addition, the smooth and soft texture of pure silk is the perfect material to express the graceful movements of goldfish, and even when they are standing still, you can feel the dynamism of them swimming.

Vitality created by artisanal techniques
Although it fits in the palm of your hand, it beautifully expresses the vitality and beauty of a real goldfish.

In particular, the graceful spread of the tail fin and the delicate movement of the pectoral fins are highly advanced techniques that can only be achieved by artisans with many years of experience.
In addition, the stitching makes the most of the characteristics of the pure silk fabric, expressing the natural roundness and softness of the goldfish without compromising the beautiful luster and texture of the fabric.
The artisan's skill and love put into each and every stitch gives this goldfish a special charm and value.
