Behind The Creation

Goldfish Hanga · Kingyo

In 1502, goldfish were introduced to Japan by Chinese traders, who sold them to the samurai and nobility as cherished companions. Goldfish have since symbolised wealth, fortune, and good luck. As part of Kousaido’s Hanga Collection, Goldfish, or Kingyo in Japanese, features a cover art by local art practitioners, birthed from the craft of woodblock printmaking, known as Hanga. Each incense stick, hand cut in small batches, proudly carries the distinctive touch of imperfections that pay homage to the craftsmanship of Kyoto's incense makers.
