The Dutch Slope (オランダ坂, Oranda-zaka) is a stone-paved street leading up a hillside in Nagasaki where many foreign traders resided after the opening of the city's port to foreign trade in 1859.

Also known as a goldfish. The attention span of a goldfish is nine seconds. The attention span of an average person is eight seconds. Not joking.

Which winter holidays do you celebrate?
Since the swap takes place after the holidays, a general winter theme seems best.
What is your favorite thing about the season?
Snow, cold weather, frost on windowpanes, lights, winter clothes, cocoa, the smell of evergreen, strawberry cake, icicles, muffs , mittens and earmuffs… except that where I'm living now, it doesn't get very cold.
What types of winter themes/styles do you like?
Snowflakes, white, winteryness, bare trees, the nutcracker ballet, skates
Which Blythes do you have? What are their names? What are they like?
I have three Japanese custom Blythes, all named after goldfish.
Oranda's themes: bold colours, golf, lions.
Tama's themes: kawaii-ness, pinks and browns, bunnies.
Tosakin's themes: goldfish, elegance, Japanese sweets.
Do you have a blythe house that you decorate for a particular holiday?
No, but props are welcome all the same.
Any special traditions that you would like to share?
For winter holidays, we usually celebrate with space-themed board games such as Situation 7 and Space Checkers. Sometimes we make space-themed deserts, such as gingerbread astronauts. And we listen to space-themed music. So, anything with an outer space theme seems seasonal for me too.
Have your or your dolls made any New Year's Resolutions?
My resolution for this year was not to buy any new dolls at all – and I didn't! I don't have a doll-related resolution for next year year, but perhaps it will be to sew more of their clothes myself.

With information coming from a website of the city of Nagasaki, where it is very honestly stated that the English page is machine translated and therefore not 100% accurate, this is "Mr. old wisteria horse's house" in Higashiyamate, the area of Nagasaki in which western merchants, mostly from the Netherlands, settled in the second half of the 19th century.
The Redcap Oranda is totally white except for a cherry red hood, which looks just like a cap. Red Cap Oranda - developing its wen. Their fleshy growth or hood is known as the wen. The wen starts to show at about 3 - 4 months or age, but only really begins to form at about 1 - 2 years.

A guard stands in front of the former residence of the captains of the Dutch ships that arrived in Dejima, Nagasaki, Japan. Dejima (lit. “exit island”) was a small artificial island built in the bay of Nagasaki in the middle of the 17th century by local merchants. It is today integrated into the city of Nagasaki, which expanded out to the sea through a series of land reclamations.
During the “Sakoku”, Japan’s isolationist foreign policy of the Tokugawa shogunate, Dejima is where foreign traders were constrained and the only place where direct trade between Japan and the outside world was allowed. Although it was originally built to house Portuguese traders, it was used by the Dutch as a trading post until the middle of the 19th century.
Foreign merchants were not allowed to cross from Dejima to Nagasaki and likewise Japanese, with the exception of interpreters, cooks, carpenters, clerks and 'Women of Pleasure' from the Maruyama teahouses, were banned from entering Dejima. After the relaxation of the Sakoku by Tokugawa Yoshimune, who wanted to promote European practical sciences, Oranda-yuki ("those who stay with the Dutch") were allowed to remain in Dejima for long periods of times, reporting regularly to the Japanese guard post.
In 1922, "Dejima Dutch Trading Post" was designated a Japanese national historic site.
The Juniban-kan Mansion at No. 12 of Higashiyamate, the area of Nagasaki in which western merchants, mostly from the Netherlands, settled in the second half of the 19th century, was built in 1868. This western-style house served as the Russian Consulate and later as the USA consulate, before being used as a residence for the missionaries of the American Methodist Church. The house was donated to Kwassui Gakuen women college in 1941, which in turn donated it to Nagasaki city in 1976. The building was repaired to its original state, a one-storey house roofed with Japanese tiles and a large veranda, in 1995. Today the house is recognized as a cultural asset and houses the Nagasaki City Historical Museum of the private School at the Former Foreign Settlement.
Look at the raspberry-like hood on its head. It is also known as wen or head growth and I like it so much! Have a wonderful day guys! :D
Due to the fleshy outgrowth on the upper half of its head and sides of its face, the oranda has become one of the most popular goldfish. It is described as a wen by the aquarists. The oranda is a metallic or matte scaled goldfish that is similar in appearance to the veiltail. It has a large, long and deep body accompanied by a long quadruple tail. This four-lobed and contracted tail normally spreads out broadly when the oranda stops swimming. The back does not rise up to form a ryukin-like hump.[2][3]
Orandas are available in a variety of colors, most often orange, red, red-and-white, red-and-black, black, blue, chocolate, bronze, white or silver, black-and-white (panda-colored), red-black-and-white (tricolor), and calico colors.[1][2][3]
The headgrowth of young fry may take one to two years to develop.[1][2] The oranda can reach 20 to 31 centimeters (8 to 12 inches) in length.[2][3]A specimen from China, named "Bruce" (after late actor and martial artist Bruce Lee), has attained 15 inches in length.[1] Sometimes the wen grows enormously covering its eye. Due to this the eye sight is either limited or the fish has no vision. These fishes should not be destroyed because they still manage to survive, finding food and enjoying the company of other fishes. Special care should be given to the wen because it is prone to bacterial infections. The Oranda can tolerate temperatures from 17-28ºc (65-80+°F).More recently blue scale oranda have been developed but these fishes are very rare[4]. Oranda goldfish are especially sensitive to cold temperatures, more so than other goldfish. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oranda

Walking down the Oranda-zaka, or “Dutch slope”, the stone-paved path between the houses of the Higashi-Yamate settlement and the Kwassui Women's College in Nagasaki, Japan. The slope was named after the western merchants who settled in the area in the second half of the 19th century, who the locals referred to collectively as “Hollanders” (initially their majority was indeed from the Netherlands).
Have been working on this fishy the last few days and although I am not entirely satisfied yet, I think I am getting quite close to the rendition I have in mind. Will likely tweak a wee bit more.
The Bubble Eye is one of the 8 goldfish designs in Ron's book, Origami Goldfish (2002) which sadly is no longer in print. Hope to see a reprint someday soon. To date, this should only be the 3rd design in the book that I have folded, after the Blackmoor and Tancho Oranda. Hope to have folded all before the end of this year.
Paper : 25x25cm square sheets of Washi bought from Daiso. First time trying this paper and I am not sure yet if I like it. Would like to try on other models too.

...being fish, and much better viewed large or on black.
Good morning and Happy Fishy Friday. Been a long time since I posted any fish pics and equally as long since I visited my favorite place to photograph them. But I finally took the time on Valentine's Day and was glad I did when I saw this Redcap Oranda, which was new.
The Redcap Oranda is a popular aquarium goldfish and has the distinction of an unusual fleshy, bumpy growth on the top of its head. This bumpy growth is called a wen and is normal for this type of fish, although the first-time observer may think the fish has some sort of disease as I did when first seeing it. It is a beautiful fish with white metallic scales that contrasts dramatically with the "redcap". While Oranda originate from China, they are readily available around the world today.
As for these photos, they was no doctoring of the background. What you see is pretty much SOOC as the tank this fish was in with other Oranda wasn't well lighted. Which in some ways is good. Personally I feel the two photos in the comment section are better than the above, but I wanted to lead off this series with a full side body shot so you could see the entire fish and its lovely dual tail fins.
Thank you for visiting...and I hope you have a truly nice Friday and most pleasant weekend.
