In Japan, goldfish are a symbol of summer. Around 40 varieties are common, ranging from the beautiful to the comical. A single ranchu―known as the "king of goldfish"―can cost millions of yen.

In a 5-minute digest, we ask why goldfish are seen as auspicious and introduce their usage as an artistic motif.
