Giant Koi
Kintaro Struggles with Giant Carp (Kuniyoshi, ca. 1835)
Kintaro in the Fifth Month, Riding a Carp (Yoshitsuya, ca. 1840)Kintaro is closely associated with Children’s Day (May 5), when parents of young boys typically display Kintaro dolls — usually riding a large carp — in the hope that their kids grow up to be brave and strong.

Koi Scarification
...Originally a phoenix was requested but when we started drawing the design on, with all the old scars a koi just seemed to fit much better with the scales in the direction of her scars. I actually removed some of the old scars to get things level and tried to create a level scar in a field of uneven scar tissue. As you see in the drawing, some scales were also going to be removal for a spotted koi look, but some of the scars’ roots were just to deep to do all at once, so we got the outline done. I’m quite pleased with the results thus far. I’m sure when we add some grey wash to the piece it will give the entire piece more depth and really take the emphasis off the old scars...

Arowana, a unique kind of fish
The female arowana just lays the eggs & its the responsibility of the male arowana to take care of them. Cool huh!It is the male who needs to workout the rest of the stuff by ferti1izing the eggs, store them in his mouth & care for them, they are the mouthbreeders. And this whole process can take up to 40 to 50 days... Amazing Arowana.
