With protruding large eyes and vivid colors as if painted with a brush.Gazing at the Three - Color(Calico) Demekin gives a mysterious sense of elation, as if looking at moving modern art.This goldfish not only possesses beauty but also houses the "beginning story" of many calico varieties we love today.Hello, this is Juane *.
Today, I would like to talk about the deep beauty of form of the goldfish in the photo, "Three-Color Demekin," where diverse personalities resonate within one body.
The Figure of "Mother" Who Wraps Everything and Creates Newness
The history of Three - Color Demekin is also the history of people's insatiable quest to create new beauty. When this goldfish came to Japan in the Meiji era, a new wind of indigo and ink colors blew into the world of "red and white" until then. It was because this child existed that gorgeous varieties such as Calico Ryukin, Azuma Nishiki, and Edo Nishiki were born.
Not denying different elements, but incorporating them into oneself to create new value.That figure seems to symbolize the very "possibility" of us meeting diverse others and finding a new self.
"Inner Harmony" Captured by Protruding Eyes
Those eyes, the biggest feature as a telescope eye goldfish, are a symbol of "insight" to look widely at everything.And on its own body ahead of that gaze, completely different colors such as red, white, blue, and black are scattered like a mosaic.While acknowledging individual differences, cherishing the "sense of community" that harmonizes as a whole...
On the body of Three - Color Demekin, every color is a protagonist and at the same time a supporting role that complements other colors.The appearance of disparate personalities harmonizing beautifully in one animal seems to give us a beautiful hint for living like ourselves and with others in society.
By Mixing, Brilliance Increases
Gazing at Three - Color Demekin teaches us that the world becomes so rich by mixing each person's individuality. The colors you have should shine more vividly by resonating with someone else's colors.A symphony of colors and life spreading in the water.I would be happy if I could continue to cherish and admire the "original landscape of diversity" named Three - Color Demekin with you all.
Establishment and History of Variety : Introduced from China to Japan in the 1890s(Meiji era).It is a fixed "mosaic transparent scale (calico pattern)" that appeared as a mutation of Demekin.This individual was later crossed with Ryukin by the first Kichigoro Akiyama, which triggered the birth of "Calico Ryukin".
Multifactorial Inheritance of Color : Calico pattern is created by mixing "ordinary scales" with a reflective layer on the scales and "transparent scales" without a reflective layer.Since the color of internal organs and tissues seen through the transparent part looks blue(indigo) due to light interference, it is possible to express five colors of "blue" in addition to red, white, and black.
Modeling and Appreciation : It is considered a very auspicious variety, adding the "celebratory nature" of calico(sarasa pattern) to the original meaning of "warding off evil" and "power to see through" of Demekin.Since you can enjoy changes in color whether viewed from above or from the side, it is a very popular variety even in modern appreciation styles.
