Koi Ishizo, Japanese Stone Koi Statue

Stone statues of Koi, Koi Ishizō (鯉石像) in Japanese, are a unique addition to any garden. In a garden with a koi pond in particular, the statue will look perfect. The statue is made in a traditional manner in Japan, which gives it a very authentic look.

The Koi is known as the national fish of Japan and appears in countless legends and folktales. In perhaps the most famous legend, a Koi transforms into a dragon after it manages to swim up a waterfall. Due to this legend, the Koi is known almost throughout the Asian world as a symbol of luck and prosperity.
