17cm Japanese Imported Doitsu Showa - AOKIYA - QT9 - 124

17cm Japanese Imported Doitsu Showa – Marusei Koi Farm

Add bold contrast and authentic Japanese craftsmanship to your pond with this exceptional 17cm Japanese Imported Doitsu Showa from the renowned Marusei Koi Farm. The Doitsu Showa combines the dramatic beauty of the classic Showa with the sleek, scaleless appearance of a Doitsu koi. Featuring a strong black (sumi) base accented by vibrant red (hi) and crisp white (shiroji), this striking tri-colour variety is admired for its exceptional skin clarity and powerful visual impact.

At 17cm, this juvenile Doitsu Showa displays excellent body conformation, premium skin quality, and a well-balanced developing pattern. The bold sumi base provides a dramatic foundation for the vibrant hi and clean shiroji, while the reduced-scale body allows each colour to appear exceptionally vivid and sharply defined. Carefully bred by Marusei Koi Farm, a respected Japanese breeder renowned for producing high-quality Nishikigoi, this koi has been selected for its health, exceptional bloodlines, and outstanding long-term development potential.

Doitsu Showa are highly prized for their striking contrast and continually evolving appearance. The absence of full scales creates a smooth, glossy finish that enhances the intensity of the black, red, and white pattern. As the koi matures, the sumi is expected to strengthen and become more refined, creating greater balance and depth while the hi develops richer colour and the shiroji becomes even brighter. This continual transformation makes every Doitsu Showa unique and highly rewarding to own.

As this koi continues to mature, its powerful tri-colour pattern will become increasingly refined, while its body develops greater size, strength, and presence. With proper water quality, nutrition, and care, this premium Japanese Doitsu Showa will continue to develop into a magnificent feature koi, offering exceptional collector appeal, outstanding future development potential, and lasting beauty for years to come.
