This beautiful tradition, which originates from the ancient Chinese legend of "The Dragon Gate," inspires many foreign tourists with its moving tale of a carp that swims powerfully against the rapids, transforming into a dragon and ascending to heaven.
Golden carp in particular are loved worldwide as a symbol of happiness and fortune, as their color expresses the brilliance of the sun.

The cultural meaning and value of Chirimen in Japanese goods
In the world of Japanese goods, Chirimen is positioned as a fabric with a special meaning that goes beyond being a simple material.
Chirimen, which has been passed down since the Edo period, combines the beauty and practicality of pure silk and continues to be loved as an essential material for making Japanese accessories and lucky charms.
The unique unevenness of the surface, known as shibo, expresses the aesthetic sense of "wabi-sabi" that has been cherished by the Japanese since ancient times, and creates a modest yet profound taste.
The use of Chirimen in Japanese goods is not just a pursuit of beauty, but also plays an important role in passing on Japan's traditional culture to the next generation.
Each piece of crepe is carefully handled by artisans, and it embodies the Japanese spirit of cherishing things and the warmth of handwork.

The beauty of the golden color, which changes its appearance depending on the angle of the light, brightens the viewer's heart and fills them with hope.
The white eyes represent purity and innocence, while the golden tassels represent nobility and good fortune.
Although it is a miniature size, the careful craftsmanship down to the smallest detail is a crystallization of the outstanding skills and aesthetic sense of Japanese artisans, and will deeply impress anyone who sees it.
