the japanese believe that koi (or carp, as some call it) represents strength, courage and longevity. so on may 5th, children's day, boys will fly carp kites. the sky is litterally swimming with fishes.

Dear anonymous,
you are as gay as a carebear staring at a bunch of invisible flying eels.
Graeme,
I see you got your pics working. Nice, keep up the good postings.
Mr. Lottering-ji,
You are very gracious. Thank you for adding my flickr account to your site and for donating your pictures! I will send you a copy of my book when it is completed.
I love this koi picture. My dad has koi--it's one of his great pleasures, raising koi in his pond.
I like that English couches "coy" in an opposite meaning to the Japanese symbolism. This definition made me laugh!
coy (koi)
adj., coy·er, coy·est.
Tending to avoid people and social situations; reserved.
Affectedly and usually flirtatiously shy or modest. See synonyms at shy1.
Annoyingly unwilling to make a commitment.
[Middle English, from Old French quei, coi, quiet, still, from Vulgar Latin *quētus, from Latin quiētus, past participle of quiēscere, to rest.]
