White, orange, and sometimes hints of yellow. These are the colors that you will usually see in a goldfish. In the Chinese world, this fish represents “peace, beauty and richness”, and “to let more people” appreciate this fact, Taiwanese photographer Tsubaki shares to us his pictures.
People have been cultivating goldfish for thousands of years, Tsubaki explains, and their presence is replicated in patterns ranging from wood carving to textiles.
Tsubaki is especially drawn to Lionhead goldfish, but also documents Ranchu, Red Hat, Tosakin, and Ryukin breeds. Each photograph features a solitary fish, with a black background bringing out the translucent colors and elegant silhouettes of the aquatic animals.
