Tōryūmon - Carp Climbing the Waterfall:
It is said that carp that successfully climb the Dragon Gate waterfall transform into dragons and ascend to the heavens. This symbolizes “overcoming difficulties” and “achieving success.” The carp climbing the Dragon Gate waterfall is a symbol of perseverance and success, similar to the carp streamers (Koinobori) used during Boys' Day (Tango no Sekku). This double-layered gauze tenugui (traditional Japanese hand towel) with a lucky pattern represents the concept of the Dragon Gate, expressing the Dragon of the Year of the Dragon through a carp.
