Koi Stamped Card

These 2009 stamped cards feature colorful carp known as koi. Many Americans collect koi, prizing these large freshwater fish for their bold, bright colors in striking combinations and patterns.

The stamp art is by Kam Mak, who left Hong Kong as a child and grew up in New York City’s Chinatown. He and his family now live in Brooklyn. He based his paintings on photographs he made of koi.
