According to legend, Koi fish earned their place as symbols of strength and perseverance by swimming upstream for one hundred years, battling against a violent current. Eventually, the Koi became stronger and their determination was bolstered, giving them the ability to jump to the top of a large waterfall that stood in their path. As a reward for their unwavering perseverance, the gods rewarded the Koi by turning them into golden dragons - the ultimate symbol of power and strength.
