Popular Koinobori: Kinzai Gengetsu no Koi [Gou]

These carp streamers are dyed with a gradation technique using traditional hand-dyeing, resulting in vibrant colors. The carp streamers feature gorgeous aluminum gold leaf, and the crescent moon shining through the clouds expresses strength and grandeur. The streamers are based on a deep green color, and are adorned with the "Shobu Maru (Iris Circle) pattern," which is deeply associated with the Tango no Sekku (Boy's Day), embodying wishes for the child's birth celebration and healthy growth.

Chic and Cool
Gold Leaf Crescent Moon Ring

Using aluminum gold leaf, countless clouds drift freely across the sky.
The dazzling crescent moon shining through the gaps in these clouds expresses the strength and grandeur of the carp streamers.

Water Repellent Finish

The fabric used is lightweight and durable polyester silky bright. Furthermore, both the carp streamers and the windsocks are luxuriously treated with a water-repellent finish, making them resistant to rain.

The "Shobu Maru" (iris circle) pattern refers to "Shobu" (iris), which is also a homophone for "Shobu" (martial spirit), and is meant to celebrate the birth and growth of a brave boy.

　

The Gou, a well-swimming Koinobori

The popular "Gou" boasts a uniquely cool design and dynamic, powerful swimming.While the elegance of the pattern is distinctly Tokunaga, the "crescent moon" adorned with gold leaf evokes the famous general Date Masamune, and the rich gradation of hand-dyeing, together with the gold leaf clouds, adds depth.
The glossy silky bright fabric is lightweight, allowing it to catch the wind easily and swim gracefully. Moreover, since it is not jacquard woven, the cost is kept down, which is a good point.
The streamer is a "Shobu Maru streamer" that creates a simple Japanese atmosphere, with its green color balancing beautifully with the carp.
