Carp breeding in rice paddy fields in the Saku district began in the Edo period and continued through the Meiji to the Taisho era up to 1955 (the 30th year of the Showa era). However, the business declined rapidly when the period of high economic growth began. One of the factors in the carp breeding decline could be the dwindling demand for carp because of changes in dietary habits and in consciousness about carp as food. Even after carp breeding in paddy fields declined, fresh water fish breeding has continued and thrives in farm ponds, which could also mean the continuation of carp breeding. One current tendency is that the number of people asking for carp is increasing because of activity deployment to re-evaluate regional tradition and the advertisements for Saku carp, which is a regional revitalization project. Along with the tendency, two potential business channels have been generated: local production with local consumption and express delivery service. Demand for carp has been increasing among people who believe the traditional idea that eating carp has positive therapeutic impact.
