Description: I have always been fascinated by the beauty and meaning behind the auspicious koi fish ever since I was a little girl. The spirit of koi will attract good fortune, luck, career success, abundance and other such gains. Koi fish are elegant and appear to be dancing with the flow of the water. They are also seen as an energetic life force due to its ability to swim against the tide. Two koi fish represents the Yin and Yang coming together in harmony. Believers also use double koi images in weddings to wish the newlyweds well and for their marriage to be blessed with fortune and luck. Koi fish symbolism is common in the Chinese culture and in Fengshui. They can also be seen in tattoos, art, and sculptures amongst many other things. The placement of tis auspicious double koi artwork in a home or office can attact positive energy leading to abundance and prosperity.
