The Meaning of Nishikigoi
With over 200 years of history, Nishikigoi, is also known as the “swimming (or living) jewel”. The unique name for this fish comes from the Japanese word “Nishiki” which traditionally means beautiful or elegant things.
Meanwhile, “goi” or koi is what the Japanese simply refer to as carp fish, which it was raised as main source of food. So we might say that Nishikigoi means “living jewel koi”.
As the concept of these “living jewelry” expanded, Nishikigoi soon began to symbolize success, ambition, perseverance, and advancement in life. It is said that to be a Nishikigoi is to be a fish that succeeds in life.
Therefore, Japanese people building homes would add a pond in their garden and keep Nishikigoi there as a way to mean that the master of the house feels fullfilled. We on the other hand, suggest that you buy Japanese koi fish to truly discover how they can add more beauty and balance to your life.
