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.

Finally, socks that fit and are comfortable
Size: X-Large, Color: White
I wear size 12.5 Wide shoes and have been through numerous "large" socks that shrink after the first wash and then are just too small. Local stores sell very few options in XL. Decided to give these a try and I'm glad I did. I like the height (just over the ankle joint) versus low cut or no-show, which tend to allow junk into the gaps. I like the material. It's thinner on top nd doesn't have compression areas. It's not overly thick, so if you are looking for cushion or extra support, look elsewhere. I have the same sock in a no-show in gray, but they are size L and are just a little too small, so I knew ahead what I was in for construction-wise. Those have been plenty durable, so it checks all the boxes. I'll be ordering some XLs in black and will keep on the lookout for gray.
