Carp streamers convey hope and wishes for growth
Carp streamers are filled with the deep affection that is passed down from parents to children.
This beautiful custom, which originated from the ancient Chinese legend of "The Dragon Gate," is based on a dreamlike tale of a carp that swims against the rapids and climbs a waterfall, transforming into a dragon and soaring into the heavens.
This tradition, which has continued since the Edo period, is the very embodiment of parents' warm wishes for their children to overcome life's difficulties and grow up freely.
Carp swimming in the season of fresh greenery continue to resonate in the hearts of many people today as a symbol of youthful vitality and hope.
This small carp embodies the beautiful Japanese spirit.
The beauty of Japan woven with high-quality crepe
The crepe fabric used for this adorable carp is the culmination of traditional Japanese craftsmanship that Japan is proud of around the world.
The delicate unevenness of the surface, created by a special weaving method, feels soft and gentle to the touch, and has a beauty that changes its appearance in light depending on the angle from which it is viewed.
Chirimen's durability and colorfastness mean it can be used for a long time.
The warm texture of this high-quality material, combined with the warmth that can only come from a handmade item, creates a special presence that soothes the soul just by looking at it.
Each piece is carefully crafted by a Japanese craftsman, and it truly embodies the essence of Japanese beauty.
A delicate finish that highlights the craftsmanship of the artisans
The fabric is a beautiful green, like fresh green leaves, and a gorgeous floral pattern dances like a spring garden.
The green color represents the abundance and growth of nature, while the colorful flowers reflect the changing seasons and the brilliance of life.
The sparkling yellow eyes represent hope for a bright future, while the bright red string represents wishes for good luck and protection from evil.
Although they are compact at just 5cm tall and 13cm wide, they have an exceptional presence, and the subtle individual differences that come with being handmade give each one its own unique character.
You can feel the artisan's skill and love permeating every corner of this tiny carp.
A wide range of ways to enjoy it, from May festivals to interior decoration
This adorable carp is the perfect decoration for the May festival, wishing for the healthy growth of boys.
You can display them as hanging dolls together with May dolls, or you can display them in a small space in the entrance or Japanese-style room to create a lovely seasonal interior accent.
They are also popular as souvenirs for overseas visitors, as they are special gifts that convey traditional Japanese culture.
You can combine several of them to tie into a hamaya arrow or hang them by a window in your room, and enjoy decorating them in a variety of ways depending on your imagination.
Although it is compact and palm-sized, it brightens up any space and can be enjoyed all year round as a lucky charm that brings a little happiness.
