ABOUT THIS PATTERN: One of the best-known symbols of Japan, koi fish symbolize prosperity, strength, courage and perseverance. According to an ancient Chinese legend, carp (koi) that swam up a waterfall and through Dragon’s Gate were magically transformed into dragons. As demonstrated by their ability to swim against the current and even travel upstream, koi fish have a powerful and energetic life force and are able to overcome life’s trials and challenges. When swimming together in a pond, these colorful fish represent love and friendship.
