Two koi fish in yin yang formation. I spent about 2 hours to sketch this drawing on the computer. It was two hours to reflect on two great asian cultures unified in one simple picture. Koi fish are said to be so brave that when placed on a cutting board, they await the knife without a quiver. Oftentimes, they're used to symbolize the bravery of samurai when they face the sword. In this yin yang formation the koi fish also symbolize the balance of nature in Taoism. It represents a fusion of Japanese and Chinese cultures.
