Synopsis
While Sanpei is absorbed in carp fishing, a sharp-eyed man appears. He is Rankei, a Buddhist sculptor known as "the Unkei of the Showa era." For one of his pieces, he is traveling all over Japan searching for a golden carp. But carp of the form he wants don't easily appear. Then Sanpei lands a "kinkabure" carp with golden scales on its forehead, keeping Rankei's hopes alive.
