Doitsu Kohaku, a modern adaptation of the Kohaku, maintains red and white contrast with a unique twist of no scales. The word “Doitsu” means the koi type, which has no or very few body scales and gives a smooth, leathery touch. The borderless white skin of Kohaku with red hi markings is stunningly clear, making the patterns stand out.
In addition to the striking pattern, Doitsu Kohaku is loved for its unscaled skin, which showcases the vivid colors underneath. Its blended contemporary and traditional design makes it popular among pond owners.
