A highly artistic Nishikigoi painted by Japanese painter Haruho Tokunaga.
“Kyo Nishiki, Yuzen Carp” is a realistic representation of the graceful appearance of Nishikigoi, created by Japanese painter Haruho Tokunaga. In addition to dyeing Nishikigoi's unique colors using a seven-color blur, the entire scales are decorated with fan-shaped gold, and in order to approximate the appearance of an actual Nishikigoi, each carp (black, red, and blue) is dyed with a different pattern. The streamers are themed around water and the sky, and are decorated with a traditional Japanese indigo blue color and studded with 1,000 auspicious paper cranes. The material is a special three-dimensional interwoven fabric. The new material shines silver when exposed to sunlight.
Haruho Tokunaga, the founder of Tokunaga Koinobori, is a Japanese painter representing Okayama.
With Ito Shinsui, famous for his paintings of beautiful women, as his teacher, Haruho shocked the industry by painting carp streamers that were unprecedented in elegance and elegance, using delicate brushstrokes unique to Japanese paintings and an unparalleled worldview.
His representative works of carp streamers include ``Celebration Carp Kitcho'' and ``Kyoten Yuzen Carp Kyo Nishiki.''
A very popular work that continues to be a long-selling product that transcends the times.
The polyester jacquard fabric is light and lively. It is powerful and swims well. Since the gold leaf is placed along the scales, it combines with the luster and color of the fabric to give it a more three-dimensional and powerful feel. As the name ``Yuzen'' suggests, the hand-printed dyeing by craftsmen that reproduces the classical masks and ``Nishikigoi'' drawn by Japanese painters stands out beautifully and carries tradition. Its presence and elegance are said to be the universal symbol of carp streamers.
The streamer ``Kyotsuru Streamer'' is simple, with 1,000 cranes drawn in shades of blue, but it has a perfect balance with the rich colors of Kyo Nishiki. Since it is double-blue, you can basically include the family crest and name in blue, and the blue gradation that looks like the sky is floating above the impressive carp streamer. The color of the white area shines with silver depending on the fabric, and it looks like the family crest stands out.
