Koi Fish with Lotus iPad Mini Cover
Koi Fish with Lotus is a brush painting in traditional Chinese "Gongbi" style. Watercolor and ink on rice paper.
In traditional Chinese culture, fish is the symbols of fertility and wealth. Fish images are also often to given as wedding gift as fish multiply rapidly and they often swim in pairs. In China, fish and jade are homonymic words (all sound "yu"), so fish represents affluence and abundance.
The Koi fish has a long history in China. It is one of the most popular auspicious things. The ancient China people deem koi fish as one of the symbol of wealth, respect, lucky and power.
In particular a Black Fish and a Red Fish frolicking in water resemble the black and white areas of TaiJi ("great ultimate"). So two fish paintings or scrolls can represent yin and yang and has very auspicious meanings. Two fishes are also one of the Eight Auspicious-symbols of Buddhism. They represent firm and harmonious relationship, and they symbolize happiness and can ward off evil.
In Feng Shui Lotus Flower and Koi Fish Paintings represent that you live in affluence and every year may you always get more than you wish for.
Chinese painting is one of the oldest continuous artistic traditions in the world. Gongbi, or “Meticulous Painting”,has been specially favoured for its realistic technique and bold coloring.
GongBi is a careful realist technique in Chinese painting, the opposite of the interpretive and freely expressive XieYi style.
The technique calls for brushstrokes to “be as detailed as detailed can be”, uses highly detailed brushstrokes that delimit details very precisely and without independent or expressive variation. In addition, it tries to strike a balance between artistic expression and vitality, is often highly colored and usually depicts figural or narrative subjects.
Gongbi requires drawing with fine lines first to represent the exaggerated likenesses of the objects, and then adds washes of ink and color layer by layer so as to approach the perfection of exquisiteness and fine art.

I was super excited when I got my cover in. It is attached by a magnet across the edge. I don’t think it will be very protective but it is very cute. I’m going to keep my iPad in a sleeve and use this face cover while I have it out. It folds to create a tilt for better viewing and to keep the iPad at a slight angle for typing. The colors are bright and it is fun. I’ve really enjoyed it. The personalization looks like amazing. It is the same color as the picture and is the same brightness. Well done! Very nice.

Yeah, exactly, what I ordered, the Q code printed well, and it fits my iPad as required. I can remove the cover and I can lay it, on the table as a sign for people to scan as they pass by.
