Koi fish QR code art
Two koi drift through turquoise water and lotus leaves, and the pattern of a working QR code hides in the ripples.

Why this scene works as a QR code
Koi work well as QR art because the scene has natural light and dark areas: pale water, dark leaves and bright fish give the code room to show through without spoiling the picture. Seen from above, the pond fills the square evenly, which keeps every part of the code readable.
In Japan and China koi stand for luck and persistence, which makes this a popular look for restaurants, tea houses, spas and new-year cards.
Where it works well
Menus and table cards for Japanese and Chinese restaurants, sushi bars, tea and spa brands, garden centres, and greeting cards.
