Koinotakinobori (鯉の滝登り)
【Carp waterfall climbing】
"Koi climbing a waterfall" is a proverb that is also popular as an auspicious image.This phrase has two meanings.
1) It is used to describe a strong momentum. In reality, it is nearly impossible for a carp to climb a fast-flowing waterfall, but this phrase describes a carp with enough momentum to literally flow backwards up the waterfall.
2) It has expanded from the first meaning and is also used as a proverb to describe someone's success in life. In other words, it means "advancement" or "success in life."
