WHAT INSPIRES US…

There is an old legend about a large school of golden Koi carp that were going up the Yellow River in China, gaining strength as they swam against the current. But when they reached a waterfall at the head of the river, many of the Koi, frightened, turned back and let the river carry them far away. However, a small group of carp refused to give up. Jumping from the bottom of the river, they tried to reach the top of the waterfall, all in vain. Their attempts attracted the attention of the local demons, which made fun of their efforts and mischievously used their magic to make the waterfall taller. Unperturbed, the Koi redoubled their efforts. After one hundred years of fight, a small Koi reached the top of the waterfall with an heroic jump. The sky spirit smiled in approval and, in acknowledgement of its perseverance and determination, turned the Koi into a golden dragon, a symbol of power and strength.

The Koi’s ascent to the top of the waterfall means ‘having success in life’. Nintai is the Japanese Kanji symbol for perseverance.
