Protection and Courage Symbols
According to Japanese legend if a koi succeeded in climbing the falls at a point called Dragon Gate on the Yellow River it would be transformed into a dragon. Based on that legend, it became a symbol of worldly aspiration and advancement. More generally, the Japanese associate koi (also known as carp) with perserverance in adversity and strength of purpose. Because of its strength and determination to overcome obstacles, it stands for courage and the ability to attain high goals..

the two combined! there will be wind currents moving around the tree for the koi to swim/fly on. plus japanese looking clouds in the background. i forgot to put blossoms on the tree but alas, i think i got the point across. =] i loves it i think in the wood of the tree trunk i have the words "With our thoughts, we make the world." engraved. it is a quote by buddha.
