koi find us

Demetrius and I love to travel and found that in our travels Koi fish are everywhere. We have both found a tremendous amount of love for these fish and after doing some research we found that Koi are very symbolic in some cultures. The Japanese associate Koi with perseverance in adversity and strength of purpose. Because of its strength and determination to overcome obstacles, it stands for courage and the ability to attain high goals.
Koi fish are celebrated in Japan, particularly for its manly qualities. It is said to climb waterfalls bravely, and, if caught, it lies upon the cutting board awaiting the knife without a quiver (what a gangsta).
Koi fish came to be associated with so many masculine and positive qualities that it was appropriated for the annual Boys' Day Festival in Japan where even today colorful, streaming Koi flags are traditionally displayed for each son in the family. We both loved the Koi fish so much and found it interesting that not only are they beautiful but they're extremely unique.
