21cm Japanese Imported Showa - Marusei - A6-48

21cm Japanese Imported Showa – Marusei Koi Farm

Add bold color and authentic Japanese quality to your pond with this striking 21cm Japanese Imported Showa from the renowned Marusei Koi Farm. As one of the prestigious Gosanke varieties, the Showa is admired for its dramatic tri-color pattern, featuring a powerful black (sumi) base complemented by vibrant red (hi) markings and crisp white (shiroji) accents. Its dynamic coloration and ever-changing pattern make it one of the most exciting and sought-after Japanese koi varieties.

At 21cm, this young Showa displays excellent early body development, premium skin quality, and strong color contrast. Carefully bred by Marusei Koi Farm, a respected Japanese breeder known for producing high-quality Nishikigoi, this koi has been selected for its health, balanced conformation, and outstanding long-term growth potential.

Showa are renowned for their evolving beauty, with their patterns continuing to transform as they mature. The deep black sumi often develops gradually, adding greater depth and character over time, while the vibrant hi and brilliant white shiroji become richer and more refined. This constant development makes every Showa unique and highly rewarding for hobbyists and collectors alike.

As this koi continues to grow, the balance between its black, red, and white markings will become even more defined, creating an increasingly powerful and harmonious appearance. With proper water quality, nutrition, and care, this premium Japanese Showa will develop into a stunning pond centerpiece that showcases the beauty and craftsmanship of traditional Japanese Nishikigoi.
