Today's keyword is "K" for kingyo. Kingyo is the Japanese word for goldfish. For centuries, people have praised these fish for the beauty and have created new species over the years through crossbreeding. Goldfish breeding began in China but was banned during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. The tradition, however, was picked up by Japan, where it has developed into a sophisticated art form. In this segment, Hidetomo Kimura takes us behind-the-scenes of his goldfish exhibition ECO EDO Nihonbashi Art Aquarium 2014.
