23cm Japanese Imported Showa – Marusei Koi Farm

Add bold colour and authentic Japanese craftsmanship to your pond with this exceptional 23cm Japanese Imported Showa from the renowned Marusei Koi Farm. As one of the prestigious Gosanke varieties, the Showa is celebrated for its dramatic tri-colour pattern, featuring a powerful black (sumi) base enhanced by vibrant red (hi) markings and crisp white (shiroji) accents. Its striking colour combination and ever-evolving pattern make it one of the most admired and sought-after Japanese koi varieties.

At 23cm, this Showa displays excellent body conformation, premium skin quality, and impressive colour contrast. Carefully bred by Marusei Koi Farm, a respected Japanese breeder renowned for producing high-quality Nishikigoi, this koi has been selected for its health, balanced development, and exceptional long-term growth potential.

Showa are highly valued for their dynamic appearance and continual transformation as they mature. The deep black sumi often develops gradually, becoming stronger and more refined over time, while the vibrant hi and brilliant white shiroji continue to improve in depth and clarity. This ongoing evolution ensures that every Showa develops its own unique character, making it a rewarding variety for both hobbyists and experienced collectors.

As this koi continues to grow, the balance between its black, red, and white markings will become even more harmonious, creating greater depth, contrast, and visual impact. With proper water quality, nutrition, and care, this premium Japanese Showa will develop into a magnificent feature koi, bringing movement, elegance, and lasting beauty to your pond for years to come.
