In Japan, there was a building boom in the 1950s to feature ponds in gardens and have Nishikigoi swim in them when planning one's own home.

Nowadays, you can enjoy Nishikigoi in both ponds, parks and gardens. The beautiful colors of Nishikigoi often provide "a peace of mind" and or sense of “healing" to those with stressful lives.
