Whether for personal use or as a unique gift, they are an excellent choice for conveying your sentiments. Goldfish - Goldfish were introduced to Japan from China around 1500 AD and were highly popular among the upper class at the time. It wasn't until the late Edo period (1603-1868 AD) that they began to spread among commoners, becoming a pleasure accessible to the masses. Their motifs were widely used in kimonos and paintings, and "goldfish vendors" became a unique sight during summer. Furthermore, in Feng Shui, "goldfish" are believed to possess the magical power to ward off various disasters and smoothly advance endeavors. Thus, they are cherished as lucky fish.
