Reiwa Aquascape: Fifth Scene "Red Worm Delivery: Slothful Waters"

It's a secret that I have a friend who modeled for this...

[Commentary]

Roll up, roll up! This is the modern "Daimyo" lifestyle.Look at this brazen goldfish!

Gone is the fish's natural way of life—swimming to find food. Instead, it sprawls in the shadow of water weeds, holding that "glowing pebble" (smartphone) in one hand, thinking only of filling its belly with a single finger tap.

Arriving at the scene is a sweaty frog deliveryman, carrying a large box and pedaling his bicycle furiously against the water's resistance. The red worms overflowing from the "Akamushi Eats" box—are they a symbol of modern "abundance," or the depth of "karma"?

Looking at the empty containers scattered at its feet, you can tell this isn't the first or second time. Is it trash piling up in the corner of the aquarium, or is it this goldfish's "negligence" ?

Forgetting how to swim in exchange for convenience, and growing fat... it is a humorous yet somehow relatable scroll.
