Painted by the founder, Japanese painter Haruho Tokunaga,
The endlessly artistic Nishikigoi

"Kenjo Hand-dyed Yuzen Koi Kyo Nishiki" is a realistic depiction of the graceful figure of a Nishikigoi, created by the brush of Japanese painter Tokunaga Haruho. The unique colors of Nishikigoi are dyed using a seven-color gradient, and the entire scale is decorated with fan-shaped gold. To make them look more realistic, each fish is dyed with a different pattern - black, red, or blue. When exposed to sunlight, they shine silvery white.

A timeless carp streamer with an artistic presence [Kyoto Nishiki]

When people think of "Tokunaga Koinobori," many first think of "Kyo Nishiki," a carp streamer with a design that has not faded since its release and that continues to be a long-selling item. The polyester jacquard fabric is light and lively. The carp is powerful and swims well. The gold leaf is placed along the scales, which, combined with the gloss and color of the fabric, gives the streamer a more three-dimensional and powerful feel. As the name "Yuzen" suggests, the classical masks and artistic "nishikigoi" carp painted by Japanese painters are reproduced, and the hand-printing by artisans blends well together to create a beautiful display in the Japanese sky. The presence and elegance will be known as the universal symbol of carp streamers.

Kyotsuru Windsock

(Kyouzuru - Wind-drawn)

The "Kyotsuru Streamer" is a simple design with a thousand paper cranes painted on a light and dark blue background, but it is well balanced with the vivid colors of Kyo Nishiki. Since it is a two-tone blue background, if you write the family crest and name in blue, the blue gradation like the sky will flutter and sway above the impressive carp streamer. The white color of the fabric shines silver-white, making it look like the family crest is floating.

Founder of Tokunaga Koinobori,
Tokunaga Haruho is a representative Japanese painter from Okayama.

Learning from the famous bijin-ga (portraits of beautiful women) artist Ito Shinsui, Haruho shocked the art world with her unprecedented refined and elegant carp streamers, painted with the delicate brushwork characteristic of Japanese painting and a unique worldview.

Carp streamers, created as a result of art, are said to be characterized by their beautiful craftsmanship, with every single step being carefully crafted.
Tokunaga Koinobori's sensibilities and values are present in every aspect of their "manufacturing."
His representative works include "Celebratory Carp: Auspicious Sign" and "Presented Hand-dyed Yuzen Carp: Kyonishiki."

1992/Antarctica

The Kyotsuru streamers and Kyo Nishikigoi streamers were written with messages from the people of "Kohitsujien" in Maizuru City. With the cooperation of the 32nd Antarctic Research Expedition, the children's dreams came true and the carp streamers flew in the Antarctic. When the Belgian team heard that the carp were swimming in the sky, they came to see it, and it was the first time that a carp streamer had flown in the Antarctic.

The daily changes in temperature and humidity have a big impact on the final color. With a sense cultivated over many years, the dye mixture is adjusted, taking into consideration the daily changes in temperature and humidity. To create colorful carp streamers, several different colors and molds are used to dye them with a rich texture.

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.
