(CNN) -- Of all the bizarre art niches out there, "goldfish aquarium art" must rank fairly high.
Yet the artist Hidetomo Kimura has built an entire career as an "art aquarist," and his weird and wonderful live installations are now on display again at an exhibition, "Edo -- the coolness of goldfish" (link in Japanese), at the Nihonbashi Mitsui Hall, in Tokyo.
First held in 2011 to mark the centenary of the Nihonbashi Bridge, where the hall is located, the unusual exhibit proved so popular it has been held each year since.
'Giyamanrium'This year marks the third Art Aquarium. Last year, 200,000 people visited the exhibit over 39 days.
