Description:

This is an embroidery recreation of carp with lotus. Carps happily swim in the water and they are vivacious and diversified. Lotus leaves and flowers were heavily stitched, and they look rich and strong. Carp's postures, scales, fins, wings and tails were done well too. The colors combine wonderfully and the whole image look bright, vivid and harmonious.

The characters at left top means "abundance of harvest every year". Red color means good luck and protection from fire. Fish mean good luck and abundance of harvest each year. Lotus come out from mud water but are still clean and shiny, and that means moral integrity.
