This lucky circle of koi confers a blessing to any home, an excellent housewarming or hostess gift. The lotus blossom and leaves at the center are a charm for great luck, happiness and prosperity.

In Feng Shui, lotus, or Chinese water lilies, in a fish pond symbolize a plea to the Buddha, Guanyin. Although there are many conflicting stories about the origin of Guanyin, Guanyin is the symbol of purity, gentleness, compassion and mercy.

The twelve koi fish represent different years on the Chinese calendar. Symbolically, as the sun moves around the horizon during the day and strikes each fish, the good luck and benefits from the fish's year will flow into the home. In addition, the fish make a perfect circle, symbolic of endless fortune, family unity and teamwork.

To put an image of lotus in a fish pond in one's home is considered a direct connection with Guanyin, conferring a blessing for prosperity.

In Imperial China, this was also a plea for lots of children. Elderly Chinese depended on their children for financial support, and pre-one child policy, it was believed that as many children as possible was the optimum retirement plan.
