Handmade Japanese Koi Carp, Medium (Navy), Hanging Dolls | Symbolizing wisdom and profundity, auspicious charm for inbound tourists, popular Japanese goods for foreign tourists
The wishes and traditions of parents embodied in carp streamers
The origin of the carp streamer comes from an old Chinese legend called "The Dragon Gate."
From the beautiful story of a carp that swims against the strong current and finally climbs the waterfall and transforms into a dragon, it has come to symbolize the power to overcome difficulties and grow.
This custom, which has continued since the Edo period, expresses the deep love of parents who want their children to grow up to be strong, intelligent, and healthy like carp.
This handmade navy blue carp hanging doll inherits the meaning of the traditional carp streamer and is an auspicious piece that especially conveys wishes for "wisdom," "profundity," and "patience."
Deep navy blue has long been known as a color representing wisdom and calmness, and has been a symbol of watching over the growth of children who devote themselves to academics and the arts.
Although it is small, it is a heartwarming piece that clearly expresses the unchanging love of parents and their deep feelings for their children.
Beautiful festival items to display alongside May dolls
On Boys' Day on May 5th, displaying this beautiful carp together with a May doll will create a richer and more meaningful celebratory space.
While May dolls with helmets and armor represent bravery and strength, carp symbolize wisdom and the desire to study, making them a lovely and well-balanced decoration for the festival.
This medium-sized carp has just the right presence when displayed next to a large May doll, maintaining a beautiful overall harmony.
The elegant design, featuring a deep navy blue color and colorful floral patterns, goes well with any May doll and will add a touch of festive charm to the festival atmosphere.
If you give this as a gift along with a May doll to your child or grandchild to celebrate their first Doll's Festival, it will be a special gift that will surely be truly appreciated.
It can be displayed all year round and is a beloved, reliable presence that always watches over children's academic success and healthy growth.
The beauty created by high-quality crepe fabric
These carp are carefully handcrafted one by one by artisans using traditional Japanese crepe fabric.
Chirimen is a high-quality fabric made from silk threads woven using a special method, and the fine wrinkles on the surface give it a unique, beautiful luster and elegant texture.
The colorful floral pattern on the deep navy blue background shines beautifully like a carp swimming gracefully in the water, as the way the light hits it changes depending on the angle from which you view it.
The purple accents, yellow eyes, and even the red string are all carefully placed, demonstrating the artisan's delicate technique and aesthetic sense throughout.
The warmth and cuteness that can only be achieved through handcrafting, something that can never be achieved by machine, gives this little carp a special charm.
The high-quality feel and beautiful color that are unique to crepe fabric speak to its dignity as a valuable craft item that will continue to be loved for a long time.
As a small piece of interior decor to soothe the soul
This is a lovely little piece of decor that can be displayed in a small space such as a study, around a desk, or in a corner of a bookshelf.
Its medium size gives it a strong presence, but it won't get in the way no matter where you place it, and it brings a refined and calm atmosphere to your room.
The beauty of the deep navy blue blends naturally into both Japanese and Western-style rooms, and will also blend seamlessly into modern living spaces.
If you gaze upon a carp when you are tired from studying or work, you will feel gently encouraged by the energy of wisdom and patience that the carp possesses.
You can enjoy them for a long time in any way you like, such as putting them in a photo frame and hanging them on the wall, or lining them up on a shelf with your favorite accessories.
It would also make a wonderful, thoughtful gift for someone from overseas who is interested in Japanese culture.
