Sea Bream
Sea bream (tai in Japanese) has long been a familiar and auspicious fish for Japanese people, often used on celebratory occasions due to the association with the Japanese word mede-tai, which means "to be happy" in Japanese. A sea bream reigns as the king of fish, and its beautiful appearance and light red color make it an indispensable item for celebratory occasions. It also has long been valued as a lucky charm, as seen in the iconic image held up by Ebisu, one of the Seven Gods of Good Fortune.
