Those things abroad.
Comprehensive foreign media reported on January 7 that in Japan, koi is popular because of its beautiful colors.
More and more people began to raise koi and let them take part in various "beauty pageants".
In recent years, the price of koi has soared, and one can even sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
People who raise koi will take out their most precious koi to participate in the competition.
In a koi beauty pageant in Tokyo, a referee walks down a street full of koi in a suit and a notebook.
These koi are colorful, including pearl white, bright red, dark blue and golden yellow.
Isamu Hattori, from the Japan Carp Culture Association, said the carp's curve accounted for 60% of the competition results.
Color accounts for 30%.
The last 10% of Japanese call it "Hinkaku". This concept is difficult to explain. It can be said that it depends on the attractiveness or "halo" of fish.
Mikinori Kurikara, a koi breeder in Tokyo, said: "We take care of them like our own children every day and let them grow up healthily."
"it's not an easy job. Everything is important, including water quality and food."
About 200 years ago, in the mountains near Niigata in northwestern Japan, villagers began to cultivate colorful koi.
Later, the craze swept through Japan and spread to the rest of Asia.
"Koi is especially popular in China," said Yutaka Suga, a professor at the University of Tokyo. "it's a concept of getting rich and symbolizes that people are climbing the ladder."
Today, 90% of Japan's koi are exported. Exports of koi reached a record 295 tons in 2016, according to Japan's Ministry of Agriculture.
Hattori, president of the Koi Association, said: "A two-year-old koi can sell for 30 million yen (about 1.72 million yuan), compared with less than 1/10 of that price ten years ago."
Chinese boss Yuan Jiandong, a koi enthusiast, said: "this is a way of consumption. Owning koi is not just to prove your wealth. When you see these beautiful fish, you will forget all kinds of pressure."
