Ref.#06 2126 ~ Koi

Koi or more specifically nishikigoi, literally "brocaded carp", are a group of fish that are ornamental varieties of domesticated common carp. This photo was taken next to New Otani Hotel in Tokyo, in a Japanese garden which dates back over 400 years. Many of the attributes of the koi symbolize several lessons and even trials individuals often encounter in life. The koi fish has a powerful and energetic life force, demonstrated by its abili­ty to swim against currents and even travel upstream. Some these characteristics associated with the koi in­clude: Good fortune ~ Success ~ Prosperity ~ Longevity ~ Courage ~ Ambition ~ Perseverance.   I stood for several minutes as the koi circled waiting for the best composition. The koi at the top left has some of the most desired markings.
