"Meoto koi" (married koi) hold a special charm in Japanese culture, symbolizing bonds of marriage and family, longevity, and prosperity.

Koi are known for their strength in swimming against currents, representing resilience and overcoming adversity. When depicted as a pair, koi embody the support and deepening connection between partners or family members. For this reason, "meoto koi" are often given as symbols of happiness, long-lasting relationships, and harmony, making them popular as wedding or anniversary gifts.

The graceful swimming of koi in clear waters evokes a sense of harmony and peace. The image of a pair of koi reflects an ideal of living in harmony with nature and building a tranquil home. Frequently featured in garden ponds, traditional paintings, and ceramics, these koi represent strength and affection within a quiet beauty, connecting deeply with Japanese aesthetics.

Beyond decoration, "meoto koi" have long been cherished as symbols of family and romantic bonds, offering wishes for a peaceful and abundant life.

Introducing the pinnacle of traditional craftsmanship: the electroforming plate ZIPPO. Electroforming is a technique where a metal layer is electroplated onto an original mold, then carefully detached to replicate and preserve the intricate details of the original's surface. This ZIPPO features a design by a master sculptor, meticulously recreated to micron-level precision. The results are virtually indistinguishable from the original, even to the naked eye.

The design embodies the timeless essence of Japanese “wa” (harmony) with compositions inspired by classic paintings and the meticulously rendered chisel marks in every tiny detail. Surprisingly affordable, this ZIPPO makes an ideal gift for overseas friends or anyone appreciative of fine Japanese artistry.
