About This Video

Koi carp or more specifically nishikigoi are a huge part of Japanese culture. Thought to be the symbol of luck, prosperity and good fortune, the Koi carp is also venerated by its natural attributes that are perseverance, strength and its tattooed-like body, which are all closely tied to the Japanese national identity.

And to be honest, how can you not be amazed to see these gorgeous looking fish swimming quietly and in groups in one of Japans many amazing little ponds like the one of the Happo-En that we previously featured here : https://www.tokyostreetview.com/videos/happo-en-tokyo/
