The symbolism of the Carp Koi might be surprising. To many the Japanese koi might appear to be a simple fish with a humble purpose. Japanese and other Asian cultures, the koi fish is a celebrated creature, embodying many noble qualities and ideals. The word 'koi' was originally used in Japan to describe wild varieties of the common carp fish. It is believed that the common carp was brought from Eurasia to China and Korea approximately 2000 years ago, primarily as a source of food. Carp are a very hardy species and can withstand long The word koi is simply the Japanese word for 'carp', and is generally used in Japan to describe all carp; wild or captive. There is evidence that around 1840, after centuries of keeping koi in captivity, Japanese farmers began to notice subtle color changes in certain fish. These new colored varieties were bred further and kept as a hobby rather than as the traditional food source.
