''A Riot of Goldfish'' () (金魚撩乱) is a short story written by Japanese author Okamoto Kanoko in 1937. ==Background== Okamoto Kanoko 岡本かの子 (1889-1939) wrote ''A Riot of Goldfish'' in 1937. Okamoto was a Buddhist scholar, an aesthete, and a feminist, all of which influences appear in the text. She was an active member of the feminist group Bluestockings (''seitosha''). Also common in her work is water-related imagery, sensual descriptions of female beauty, the rejection of traditional female roles, an embellished prose style, and a unique use of language.〔http://www.jstor.org/stable/2385280 The Splendor of Self-Exaltation. The Life and Fiction of Okamoto Kanoko. Maryellen T. Mori. Monumenta Nipponica , Vol. 50, No. 1 (Spring, 1995), pp. 67-102.〕 The protagonist in A Riot of Goldfish, Mataichi, attempts in vain to create the perfect goldfish. This obsession with artistry is also seen in Okamoto’s The Food Demon, in which the protagonist Besshiro strives to create the perfect culinary dish. Goldfish breeding is still an art practiced in Japan. Specialty goldfish mentioned in the text include the ranchū, Ryūkin, and Shūkin. Okamoto utilizes the natural landscape of eastern Tokyo and the Kansai region to create stunning imagery.
