Indoor Koinobori Special 2

Koinobori" is a symbol of our wish that our children will grow up as big and healthy as Koinobori swimming in the sky. In the Chinese legend, a carp that climbed up the Dragon's Gate against a strong current became a dragon and ascended to the sky. Like the carp, I hope my child will grow up to be strong and vigorous against all odds. It is said that the practice of displaying carp streamers on Dragon Boat Festival became popular among the general public in the mid-Edo period (1603-1868) as a way of wishing for success in life and success in life.

You can display a traditional carp streamer indoors.

The smallest ever hand-printed carp streamer.

The smallest Koinobori in history, "Tabletop Koinobori Kyo-Nishiki," using the traditional hand-printing technique, went on sale on March 1, 2024. Although small, it reproduces the same delicate patterns of Nishikigoi created by the founder, Haruho Tokunaga, as the larger Koinobori that swim in the sky.

Beautiful colors and delicate patterns dyed by hand, one color at a time

Delicate patterns are elaborately reproduced through silk-screen baking molds. Unlike regular Koinobori, the screen tends to get clogged up with small pieces, requiring a high level of skill. The beauty and delicacy of the artwork is characterized by the combination of hand-printing tradition and craftsmanship.

■Authentic Koi Noboribori even indoors

This is Tokunaga Koi's top-quality carp streamer, "Keisho no Koi Kichizo," which is a carp streamer for indoor decoration. The Jacquard weave fabric with Kiritake Houou and Kirin patterns is covered with traditional Yuzen Bokashi and gold leaf.
