Pearlscale (Chinshurin) — The Shine of "Pearls" Dwelling in Scales. Admiring the Unique Textural Beauty.

Swimming hard in the aquarium with a perfectly round body.If you look closely at the surface, each scale stands out, emitting a noble luster as if pearls were spread all over.Its name is "Pearlscale".This goldfish, which has a unique texture that you cannot forget once you touch it, condenses the "diverse beauty" of life.Hello, I'm Juane*.

Today, I will talk about the goldfish "Pearlscale" which has scales that turn the light of the photo into grains, and the "uniqueness" that its round figure teaches us.

Three - dimensional Modeling Shining in "Points"

While the scales of many goldfish are flat and reflect light like a mirror, the scales of Pearlscale are raised in a hemispherical shape at the center.This three - dimensional structure gathers light to one point and creates a soft shine like a pearl.This scale was not born overnight.It was fixed by the passion of people who tried to protect this special texture over a long period of time.

"Self-Acceptance" Taught by Ping Pong Pearl

Among Pearlscales, "Ping Pong Pearl", which has been improved to have a particularly round body, attracts many people with its adorableness.It is never good at swimming.The figure moving while shaking its body awkwardly seems to be in a place unrelated to the world seeking efficiency and speed.

"If only I could swim more smartly," "If only I could move faster"... rather than such a sense of lack, they seem to live by affirming the adorableness that can only be produced because of this round body and the shine that can only be released because of these scales with their whole body.The figure that turns even imperfection into "unique charm" gives us the courage to love ourselves.

"Irreplaceable Time" Nurtured in Interaction

The time to raise Ping Pong Pearl requires more careful dialogue than other goldfish.To protect its delicate scales and body shape, we adjust the water quality and set up the environment gently.That time and effort is never a "hardship".It is a very rich process of memory that builds trust beyond words in the time spent together.Just like the time spent with loved ones, the days of facing this small life and walking with its growth as a goal.The shine of Pearlscale may be a mirror reflecting our "cherishing heart".

True Shine Oozing from the Inside

Looking at Pearlscale, I realize that beauty is not something decorated from the outside, but the essence inside appearing as a form.Dwelling your own shine in each scale.As if affirming your shine, which is the only one in the world.I would like to continue to watch over the trajectory of gentle and warm light drawn by Pearlscale.

Roots of the Variety : It was created as "Chinshurin" in China in the late 1800s.After that, it was highly evaluated overseas such as in the UK, and furthermore in Japan, a type nicknamed "Ping Pong Pearl" with a rounder body and shorter tail fin became established and exploded in popularity.

Scientific Structure of Pearl Scales : It has a special form in which calcareous deposits on the scales and the center rises in a hemispherical shape.This scale is very easy to peel off, and it is characterized by the fact that once it peels off, the regenerated scale often becomes a flat "ordinary scale".Therefore, to maintain beautiful "pearls", advanced breeding techniques to avoid stress and contact are required.

Morphology and Physiology : The extremely round body shape is also a structure where internal organs are easily compressed.Especially for Ping Pong Pearl, since there is a tendency to easily get "swim bladder disease", "consideration for digestion (fasting or low-protein food)" and "water temperature management" are indispensable to maintain its formative beauty.
