White Telescope Goldfish — The "Innocent Observer" Viewing the World with Clear Eyes.

Demekin(Telescope Goldfish) is loved for its humorous appearance.Among them, the appearance of the "White Demekin", which has not a single cloud, is like a silver moon floating in the night sky, or a crystal ball that sees through everything.Its large protruding eyes are not just charming.It feels even like a "symbol of wisdom" trying to quietly stare at the truth of the world without being misled by the surface.Hello, I'm Juane*.

Today, I will talk about the beauty created by protruding individuality, the "power to gaze" of the White Demekin.

"Protruding Eyes" Capture the Abyss of the Heart

The most symbolic feature of the Demekin is its large protruding eyes.The eyes dwelling in the solid white body are like "crystals of curiosity" trying to capture the wide world exhaustively.We tend to see only what we want to see.However, the figure of the White Demekin with a wide field of view tells the importance of accepting the world as it is without prejudice.Its straight gaze has a clarity that gently exposes even the lies deep in the viewer's heart.

The Light of Truth Reflected by "Transparent White"

The White Demekin, which does not have strong colors such as red or black, softly reflects slight changes in light in the aquarium and surrounding colors on its body.It is the "beauty of harmony" that brings out the beauty of the surroundings by keeping itself transparent. "You don't have to assert yourself strongly, just being there is enough." The innocent white of the White Demekin reminds us of the strength named "acceptance" that we tend to forget in society.White that is not dyed in any color is also a color of charity that wraps any color at the same time.

Flying to Freedom Dancing Like a "Robe of Feathers"(Hagoromo)

Demekin has a plump body shape inherited from Ryukin and a tail fin that spreads gracefully.The way the White Demekin catches water leisurely and swims with its fins fluttering is like a celestial maiden's robe dancing underwater. Even while holding those large eyes that look a little inconvenient, it swims lightly and freely in the water. That figure embodies the beauty of living by turning one's characteristics(individuality) into wings instead of regarding them as a burden.

When I look at the White Demekin, I feel my narrowed field of view expanding outward.What matters is not what you see, but with what kind of heart you look.Undecorated white, and eyes that see everything.We want to cherish this "straight gaze" and continue to spin words one by one with love.To love the world with a transparent heart.With deep respect for the "quiet sage" named White Demekin.

Mystery of Vision : It is said that the physical eyesight of Demekin is never good, but its large eyes take in light refraction in a complex way and emit a unique brilliance.Especially for solid white individuals, the shading around the eyes stands out, and it is characterized by making you feel "richness of expression" not found in other goldfish.
