Leaping Carps are a powerful symbol of perseverance, ambition, and worldly success. Historically, it reflects the belief that a carp that successfully swims upstream and leaps the waterfall transforms into a dragon. Based on the artistic style and the mounting, this piece likely dates back to the early to mid-20th century (Taisho or early Showa era).
