mighty koinobori
$98.00
Traditionally displayed in homes and out in the neighbourhood during late spring to mark the celebration of Children's Day, koinobori (carp streamers) symbolise perseverance, strength, courage, and success. This large and lightweight version allows you to paint your own colourful koi - alternatively, reel in our one-and-only painted sample, a loose and drippy catch we had specially custom painted.
Each carp has a wired opening for structure, and is open through the centre so you can hang it outside and see it 'swimming' in the wind. Choose from blank or black and white in the drop down menu.
- Painting materials are not supplied (or advised) by the manufacturer, but we recommend student quality acrylic paints, or water based acrylic house paint.
- The lightweight poly textile is slightly porous; if you are using runny paint for a brushy look, we recommend sliding a long piece of baking paper through the centre of the fish to prevent bleed-through or sticking as the paint dries. Don't forget to allow one side to dry completely before you turn it over to paint the reverse!
- There are no guidelines, the fish is completely blank, but you can easily find inspiration online.
- String is included.
