California Koi at Wilshire Associates, Santa Monica

Passmoore, Works Of Alexander & I.V.

One day, a pile of fish scales on the ground here suggested someone may have consumed a fish among these. There is symbolism in the selection of Koi. Hearn's Kokoro: Japanese Inner Life Hints mentions... "they symbolize the hope of parents that their lad will be able to win his way through the world against all obstacles, --even as the real koi, the great Japanese carp, ascends swift rivers against the stream." Native salmon would have been far more amusing. Series Description: -Southern California city West of Los Angeles, featuring coastal scenes and CA personalities.
