Welcome to Ikenami-ya.

Our store is a specialty store for Japanese handmade goldfish.

Each goldfish is shaped by hand, and the different colors are applied over and over again from undercoating, and the hair-thin fin lines are painted one by one using gradation.

The eyes are drawn with the whites and black eyes as fine as the tip of a pen, and the outside of the whites are slightly outlined.

The placement of goldfish and aquatic plants is determined through repeated fine-tuning of angles and spacing.

The resin liquid is made from high-quality material that does not easily yellow, and we use the most suitable type for each work.

Due to the time-consuming nature of production and the limited number of successful pieces, the speed of listing tends to be slower. However, I hope to gradually increase the number of items so that you can enjoy browsing the gallery even if it takes a bit longer.

Please take your time to take a look.



[Self-introduction]
In Japan, since ancient times, vermilion goldfish have had the meaning of warding off evil spirits and disasters, and demekane is said to mean ``eyes = sprouting'' and ``eyes want to appear = auspicious.''

With the hope that the goldfish will bring a lot of happiness to our customers, we create each goldfish with all our heart, as no two in the world are exactly alike.

Thank you very much.
