**The new digital village**  
Both Colored carp (created by [Okazz](https://twitter.com/okazz_)) and Generative patterns "NISHIKIGOI" (created by [raf](https://twitter.com/raf___gallery)) serve as digital certificates of residence for Yamakoshi village. Yamakoshi will restart as a globally open and unexplored area by sharing its unique culture with the world. We really hope that you join us and be part of our community!

Nishikigoi

The curved lines representing colored carp are placed at equal spaces with the colors and directions that are randomly chosen. The ellipses are also randomly drawn out throughout the screen, and their direction keeps changing with purlin noise to create a force field.
