An extremely artistic Nishikigoi painted by Japanese painter Tokunaga Haruho.

"Kenjo Hand-dyed Yuzen Koi Kyo Nishiki" is a realistic depiction of the graceful figure of a Nishikigoi carp, painted by the brush of Japanese painter Tokunaga Haruho. The unique hues 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 carp is dyed with a different pattern - black, red, or blue. The streamers, which have a theme of water and sky, feature a traditional Japanese indigo gradient with auspicious thousand paper cranes scattered across them. The material is a special fabric with a three-dimensional cross weave. This new material shines silver-white when exposed to sunlight.

Tokunaga Haruho, founder of Tokunaga Koinobori, 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.

Representative carp streamers include "Celebratory Carp, Auspicious Sign" and "Presented Hand-dyed Yuzen Carp, Kyo Nishiki."
A hugely popular work that has transcended the ages and continues to be a long-selling product.

Kyonishiki swimming around the world

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.
