In Japanese symbolism, the weeping willow signifies the arrival of spring and embodies female grace and beauty. Its branches swaying in the wind traditionally represented a Japanese wife's willingness to yield to her husband's will.

The 'magoi' (black carp) symbolizes the male, while the 'higoi' (red carp) represents the female. Carp motifs carry auspicious meanings; the Japanese consider carp as spirited fish, possessing immense energy and strength to navigate swift streams and cascades. This strength and determination make the carp a symbol of courage and the ability to overcome obstacles, reflecting the pursuit of lofty goals.
