Bubble Eye (Suihogan) — Swaying Bubbles, Modeling of "Ephemerality" That Makes You Want to Protect.
A figure swimming hard while swinging large bags left and right in the tank.When they see that figure for the first time, many people may wonder "What on earth is this?" and feel a loveliness that cannot be left alone at the same time as surprise.Hello, I'm Juane*.
Today, I would like to talk about the delicate beauty worn by the goldfish "Bubble Eye (Suihogan)" in the photo, which is exceptionally unique among goldfish.
"Treasured Gem" Loved in the Imperial Court
The hometown of Bubble Eye is China.It was a rare existence that was once carefully protected within the imperial court and kept secret from the outside world.Its appearance, having no dorsal fin and large water bags under upward - looking eyes, is the ultimate stylistic beauty nurtured over many years for the emperors and aristocrats of that time to enjoy looking at the quiet water surface "from above".
The contents of those bags are actually lymph fluid.It never contains heavy stones, but has buoyancy softly in the water, and sways elegantly and rhythmically according to the movement of the goldfish.
One and Only Charm Named "Weakness"
The beauty of Bubble Eye lies in a kind of "imperfection" or "precariousness".Those large bubbles are very delicate and can be broken just by touching something slightly sharp.That is why the owner does not place dangerous objects in the aquarium, adjusts the water flow gently, and creates a "gentle world" where they can swim with peace of mind.
To "live protected".That is not weakness, but the power to draw out kindness from the surroundings and create a special harmony.Staring at the modeling of Bubble Eye, I feel like I am being taught such a way of life.
Love the Personality As It Is
The importance of "self-acceptance" to accept yourself entirely, including parts you think are your shortcomings... In the goldfish world, the large bag of Bubble Eye might be "inconvenient" for swimming efficiently.However, that inconvenience is the brilliance only they have that no one else can imitate.There is no need to be "the same as everyone else".The figure swimming while proudly shaking its own characteristics seems to deliver the "courage to be yourself" to us.
Quiet Fluctuation Melting into Water
Every time a Bubble Eye swims, soft ripples spread in the water.That momentary fluctuation is like an abstract painting in the water that never creates the same shape twice.We, Jun * Juane, also want to carefully capture the trajectory drawn by this fragile yet beautiful "bubble" through Jun's lens, and through my words and pictures. I would like to continue to share the preciousness of life living while protecting and being protected with everyone.
Establishment and Transition of Variety : It is said to have been fully created in China in the early 1900s.It is a fixed individual with developed bags under the cornea that appeared by mutation from the Celestial Eye Goldfish(Chotengan).It came to Japan in the 1950s and became widely known for its bizarre appearance.
Structure of Bubble : The bag under the eye(bubble) is a swollen cornea of the eye, filled with transparent lymph fluid.Although it often regenerates even if broken, the balance between left and right may be lost, so physical consideration such as "do not place sharp objects" is essential for breeding.
Morphological Features : It has a "Ranchu-type" body shape with no dorsal fin and a smooth back.The absence of a dorsal fin is a highly advanced modeling for appreciation calculated to emphasize the shimmering of bubbles when viewed from above.
