Handmade Mini Koi (Blue) Hanging Dolls Made in Japan | Inbound Products | A symbol of purity and calmness, a popular Japanese item among foreign tourists
The blue carp symbolizes purity of mind and intelligence
Carp streamers have long been used to express wishes for children's healthy growth and success in life, and blue carp in particular have been treasured as a symbol of purity and calmness.
This beautiful custom, which originates from the Chinese legend "The Dragon Gate," tells the story of a carp that swims upstream against the rapids and transforms into a dragon that ascends to heaven.
Blue represents the purity of water and a clear mind, and symbolizes the deep love of parents who want their children to develop intelligence and calmness.
This tradition, which has continued since the Edo period, is a heartwarming prayer for children to have pure and righteous hearts and to live wisely in life.
This small blue carp embodies the pure and beautiful Japanese spirit.
Chirimen fabric has an elegant texture and durability
The crepe fabric used for this adorable carp is the highest quality woven fabric produced using traditional Japanese techniques.
The delicate unevenness of the surface, created by the unique weaving method, creates beautiful shadows depending on how the light hits it, giving it an elegant appearance like light reflected on the surface of water.
Chirimen has the wonderful property of being soft and moist to the touch, yet durable and resistant to deformation.
It is resistant to fading and long-lasting, so you can rest assured that it will be a treasured item passed down from generation to generation.
These high-quality materials, carefully crafted one by one by artisans, combined with the warmth that only a handmade item can have, create a special presence that soothes the soul just by looking at it.
The Seigaiha pattern embodies Japanese aesthetics
The Seigaiha pattern on the beautiful blue fabric is a classic Japanese design that depicts the gentle flow of waves.
This pattern is imbued with the wish for a long and peaceful life, and is popular as an auspicious motif.
The beautiful curves of the Seigaiha pattern, like the calm waves of the ocean, soothe the viewer's mind and bring about a sense of peace.
Its sparkling yellow eyes symbolize hope and a bright future, while its golden tassels represent nobility and good fortune.
Although miniature in size, this carp is carefully crafted down to the smallest detail, and is the crystallization of the artisan's skill and aesthetic sense, deeply moving anyone who sees it.
Mini size allows you to enjoy a variety of decorations
This adorable miniature blue carp can be displayed in a variety of ways, taking advantage of its small size.
During the May Festival, it is lovely to display it together with a large carp streamer to express family ties, or to place it next to the Hina dolls to create a sense of the changing seasons.
If you casually display it on a windowsill or shelf in your child's room, it will become a gentle presence watching over your child's healthy growth.
Place it on your kitchen counter or entryway counter to bring a pure and peaceful atmosphere to any place where your family gathers.
Another fun idea is to combine several of them and hang them like a mobile, or place them in a small aquarium-like container to make them look like they are swimming.
As a souvenir for people from overseas, it is compact and easy to carry, and is a special gift that conveys the beautiful culture of Japan and is very popular.
Although it is adorable enough to fit in the palm of your hand, it has an exceptional presence and is a special lucky charm that will create an elegant Japanese atmosphere wherever you display it.
