Glad you liked the article, Jim.

Thanks for pointing out the error. Still can’t read decimal points!

Very nice article. I too remember seeing those goldfish scooping games at festivals. I wonder if the goldfish market is Yakuza run too. Also, just a quick error note, I think 50 yen is closer to 40 cents US, not 4

Fantastic post, Ampontan, good eye for these things! Here in Taiwan, the goldfish scooping game is also popular in the many night markets dotting the island, and once again, as in so many things in Taiwan Prefecture (of Japan, ''Taiwan-ken'' it is sometimes called here)... this gold fish game for kids came to Taiwan during the Japanese Colonial Period, 1895-1945, when Japan ran Taiwan as an Imperial, well, colony. Tora-san would be very comfortable in Taiwan.
