The humble goldfish or “kingyo” is usually found in traditional Japanese art and is featured in many cultural celebrations. It’s considered a symbol of good fortune, and its hints of red are said to help ward off evil. Kingyo-sukui, or “goldfish scooping” is also a popular game among children, which is often seen during festivals. 

The rich history of the goldfish is celebrated in the Namiki’s Nippon Art collection. The Namiki Nippon Art Origami Goldfish fountain pen is one of five designs that honor the art of paper folding through Hira Maki-e. We have this brand new pen with a #10 14K gold nib (M) for sale. It comes complete with its box, papers, and converter.
