Pattern: Kingyo - Goldfish

 

Goldfish (kingyo) were first introduced to Japan from China during the Muromachi Period (1336-1573). The fish were bred for centuries for a variety of mutations that made them more aesthetically appealing. Collecting goldfish began as a luxurious hobby for daimyo and other wealthy people, but in the late Edo Period, a ”‘goldfish boom” was triggered by lower ranking samurai, many of whom needed to have a side job to support their families.  As supply increased, prices came down; and goldfish collecting and breeding became affordable for commoners. 

During the Edo Period a summer tradition called Kingyo Sukui (goldfish scooping) began.  A large pool or basin is filled with water and a bevy of goldfish, and people are given the opportunity to catch one for a small price. Goldfish are said to enhance luck and their red color is thought to keep disease away, now it is still a popular attraction at yomise or yatai, night & evening stall or pop-up shops of street foods and attractions at natsu-matsuri, summer festival.

Stability with food on it!
They were a bit small than I had thought, but perfect for little tidbits for parties and church fellowships. Attractive and clean looking, held snacks just fine.

NICE for soups!
Style: 34 Ounces, Size: 34 Count
We try to keep these in the house. They are REALLY nicely sized and work great for soups. They are AWESOME for soups and the only disposable plates I feel comfy using for large stews and such. Makes cleaning easy because I don't HAVE TO CLEAN! They are a bit more expensive than otherd disposable plates, but they are worth it. Pretty heavy duty plates that are thick and great for heavier foods. <3
