Yamaha has just added a goldfish to their "Seasonal Scenes of Japan" papercrafts. In Japan, goldfish scooping is one of the most popular events at festivals. It's likely that many people have enjoyed scooping goldfish and brought them back home to breed. Goldfish are still one of the most popular pets in Japan. The scene of a goldfish in a water vase or basin represents a typical summer scene of Japan, which is soothing and refreshing.
