Hamanishiki — Armor of Jewels and "Bubble Crown" Given by Heaven.
At a glance, the "Hamanishiki" catches the eye with its noble appearance.With hard scales like scattered pearls and soft bubble - like wen shimmering on the top of its head.Its figure is like a young king who has been granted a jeweled crown after rigorous training, or a noble from a foreign land.In its appearance where strength and fragility, stillness and motion coexist, there dwells a mysterious gravity that captures the viewer's heart and does not let go. Hello, I'm Juane *.
Today, I will talk about the "inner radiance" of Hamanishiki, a masterpiece created by quiet self - assertion.
"Armor of Pearls" speaks of unwavering self
One of the biggest attractions of Hamanishiki is the "scales raised in a hemispherical shape" inherited from the Pearlscale.Every time it bathes in light, each grain emits a pearl - like luster, as if wearing armor with elaborate workmanship.These scales are not mere decorations.It is a "symbol of will" to protect oneself and discipline oneself.Without being swept away by the surroundings, crystallizing one's individuality as a single pearl. Its hard beauty teaches us the "nobility of sticking to oneself".
Soft sensitivity dwelling in "Heaven's Crown"
The bubble - like wen that develops on the head is a special "crown" that only Hamanishiki has.If the wen of Ranchu is "accumulation of wisdom", then that of Hamanishiki is an expression of "delicate sensibility".Leaving itself to the water flow, the crown trembling purupuru seems to sensitively sense minute changes in the surroundings.Being strong(armor) and being sensitive(crown).The figure of Hamanishiki combining these two contradictory elements may be our ideal figure living in the present age.Strong, and gentler than anyone else. That balanced beauty brings the light of harmony into the aquarium.
Time of peace guided by "Eternal Dance"
Contrary to its luxurious attire, Hamanishiki swims leisurely and is somewhat contemplative.The figure swimming slowly in the aquarium, fluttering its long fins gracefully, makes you forget the flow of time.They do not rush.They proceed surely in the water as if chewing on their own weight and beauty.That calm behavior tells us the importance of "regaining one's rhythm" without using words to us living in daily life full of information and rapid changes.
Looking at Hamanishiki, I feel that "quiet strength" sleeping inside me is awakened.Polishing oneself, protecting oneself, and yet keeping one's heart open to the world. We want to carefully express this "strong and gentle light" from now on. With a heart like a jewel, gracefully. I would like to dedicate my heartfelt respect to the "nobleman in the water" named Hamanishiki.
Roots of the Breed : Hamanishiki is a breed originating in Japan, created by further improving and fixing "Koutou Pearl (High-head Pearl)" in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture.It is a relatively new breed born in the Showa era, and as the name implies, it was nurtured by the passion of enthusiasts in Hamamatsu.
Morphological Features : The biggest features are pearl scales(scales where calcareous accumulates and rises in a hemisphere) and "bubble-like wen" on the top of the head.Rather than an overall wen like Oranda Shishigashira, a unique shape like balloons popping on top of the head is considered good.
Viewing Points : Hamanishiki stands out in its individuality in both "side view" and "top view".In particular, whether the grains of scales are aligned, and whether the crown on the head is symmetrical and has a beautiful shape are the turning points of aesthetic evaluation.
