36cm Japanese Imported Aka Matsuba - QT1-31

36cm Japanese Imported Aka Matsuba – Marusei Koi Farm (Japan)

This 36cm Japanese Imported Aka Matsuba from the renowned Marusei Koi Farm (Japan) is a beautiful metallic Japanese Nishikigoi that combines rich color with striking scale definition. Featuring a deep red (aka) metallic base overlaid with a distinctive black Matsuba (pinecone) reticulated pattern, this koi delivers exceptional contrast, texture, and visual impact in any pond.

At 36cm, this Aka Matsuba already displays excellent body development, balanced proportions, and strong color saturation. The crisp Matsuba netting enhances the vibrant metallic red base, creating remarkable depth and a bold, three-dimensional appearance that becomes even more eye-catching under natural sunlight and pond lighting.

Aka Matsuba are highly prized for their combination of brilliant metallic luster and classic pinecone-like reticulation. As this koi continues to mature, the scale definition is expected to sharpen while the rich red coloration and metallic sheen continue to intensify, resulting in even greater visual depth and overall presence.

Carefully bred by Marusei Koi Farm, this premium Japanese Aka Matsuba offers exceptional genetics, steady growth potential, and timeless collector appeal, making it an outstanding addition to both developing and established koi collections.
