Carp have been naturally distributed in Japan since ancient times, and they are a familiar fish in Japanese paintings and patterns. Known as the “king of river fish,” they have long been considered auspicious in Japan, with carp dishes traditionally served at celebratory gatherings. Their reputation as a good-luck symbol stems from an ancient Chinese legend – introduced to Japan – in which a carp swam up the raging rapids of the Yellow River’s “Dragon Gate” in a single burst, ascended to the heavens, and transformed into a dragon.

“Nishikigoi(Japanese ornamental carp)”, which are highly popular overseas, are said to have originated from a mutation of “magoi(common black carp)” – originally raised for food – sometime during the mid-Edo period(1603-1867). Over time, selective breeding aimed at creating more beautiful and unique varieties has led to the production of over 80 different types across Japan today. The record-breaking sale price for a single fish – a female – was a staggering 203 million yen. This price is apparently based on the expectation that the parent carp will lay tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of eggs at a time and continue to produce high-quality carp afterward, but even so, it’s an astonishing price, isn’t it?
