In this episode of Supernatural Japan, we explore the mystical world of Japan’s most auspicious animals: the turtle (kame) and the carp (koi). Discover how these creatures symbolize longevity, resilience, and good fortune in Japanese culture, from ancient myths and folktales to their presence in modern shrines, gardens, and celebrations. We dive into legends of divine turtles, the koi’s legendary journey upstream, and the spiritual significance they continue to hold in Japan today.
