Traditional carp streamers [Yuzen carp]

We cherish the traditional carp streamer designs and have long been popular for our simple carp streamers that evoke a sense of tradition.
The streamers are five-colored, which have the meaning of warding off evil spirits.

Taffeta fabric that swims well

Made of lightweight and durable nylon taffeta fabric, it catches wind easily and swims well.
The fabric does not have a woven pattern or gold leaf, so it is not shiny, but its lightness means it swims well, making it useful in areas with poor ventilation.　

Traditional five-colored streamers

Five-colored streamers have long been believed to ward off evil spirits and act as a talisman, and even today they remain a standard feature on many carp streamers.
Why is it believed that five-colored streamers ward off evil spirits?

Its origin is deeply connected to the five colors.
The origin of the five colors comes from the theory of Yin-Yang and the five elements established in ancient China. The theory of the five elements is the idea that everything on earth is classified into five elements of the five elements. The five colors are the representation of these five elements. The five colors are blue, red, yellow, white, and black (purple) , and each corresponds to the theory of the five elements and is thought to govern all things in heaven and earth.

In addition to colors, there are many cultures in Japan that relate to the five elements.
❖ The five directions
❖ "Five o'clock" represents the season
❖ The five virtues that represent human virtue
❖ The five seasonal festivals

Just as the five-colored streamers on carp streamers are displayed as talismans, Tanabata paper strips are also displayed as talismans.
In addition, five-colored curtains are hung at shrines and temples, and five-colored streamers are used at ground-breaking ceremonies, etc. Additionally, a suspended ceiling with five-colored tassels is hung above the sumo ring.
The five-color culture can be seen in a wide variety of traditional Japanese events that have been handed down since ancient times. We hope that you will also enjoy the culture that celebrates these traditions through carp streamers.

Hand-printing techniques by artisans

Daily changes in temperature and humidity have a big impact on the final color. Using intuition cultivated over many years, we carefully consider the daily changes in temperature and humidity and adjust the dye mixture. To create colorful carp streamers, we use several different colors and molds to dye them with a rich texture.

Soyokaze Line

Relaxed and bright, the Gentle Breeze Line
We hope that the beautifully dyed carp streamers will swim beautifully in the refreshing breeze.
With this wish in mind, our skilled craftsmen cut the fabric.

Using water-repellent treated fabric, it repels water better than conventional products, is less likely to shrink or wrinkle, and is more resistant to rain.
In addition, the coating effect reduces fading, resulting in a vivid and durable finish.

The final process of making carp streamers is "sewing," which requires three different types of sewing machines to sew each beautiful line with meticulous skill. The careful finish is so well-established that it is said to be a true work of art.
