16cm Japanese Imported Showa – Maruhiro Koi Farm

This 16cm Japanese Imported Showa from Maruhiro Koi Farm is a beautiful example of one of Japan's most iconic koi varieties, showcasing a dramatic combination of deep black (sumi), vibrant red (hi), and brilliant white (shiroji). As one of the prestigious Gosanke varieties, Showa are admired for their bold, full-body black pattern that serves as the foundation for striking red and white markings, creating a powerful and elegant appearance.

At 16cm, this young Showa displays excellent body conformation, healthy development, and a well-balanced tri-color pattern with outstanding future potential. The bright white skin provides crisp contrast against the developing sumi and vibrant hi, while the black markings are expected to continue emerging and strengthening as the koi matures. With proper nutrition, excellent water quality, and attentive care, this Showa has the potential to become an exceptional specimen.

Imported directly from Japan and bred by Maruhiro Koi Farm, this Showa has been carefully selected for its premium Japanese bloodlines, healthy condition, and superior skin quality. Maruhiro Koi Farm is respected for producing high-quality Nishikigoi with excellent genetics, making this koi a superb choice for collectors and hobbyists alike.
