However, as early as 2003, because Japan discovered koi herpesvirus, China once banned the import of carp from Japan. But according to the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, after local investigations in Japan confirmed safety, 6 farms in 4 prefectures - Niigata, Okayama, Hiroshima and Fukuoka - began exporting carp again after 13 years!

In recent years, Japanese koi have gained great popularity overseas. Purebred Japanese koi are especially expensive. Koi symbolize "wealth," "longevity" and a "colorful" life, and especially in China, they are also known as "lucky fish" and "feng shui fish"!
