SHOP OUR SELECTION OF HAGESHIRO KOI FISH ONLINE – DEEP SUMI BODY WITH A BRIGHT WHITE FACE ACCENT

Breeders Specializing in Hageshiro Koi Fish: 

Aokiya

Black Hageshiro are an attractive and elegant type of koi that are easily identified by their striking white faces. The rest of their body, which closely resembles the Hajiro and Kumonryu, is filled with deep, velvety black sumi, but the stark contrast of the white facial marking sets the Hageshiro apart. Both bold and elegant, this fish boasts a mysterious and powerful aesthetic due to its striking facial markings.

The “white-masked” koi, as it is so often referred to, have their own unique visual cadence that sets them apart in the pond. Their face is instantly identifiable as the bold, white mask stands out against their dark and almost reflective body that is filled with rich colors. One of the most fascinating elements of Hageshiro koi is the texture of the face and how it is blended within the mask; the transition from black to white appears unpredictably yet beautifully balanced.

At Fitz’s Fish Ponds, we’ve partnered with Aokiya, which is known for producing koi with solid body structures, distinct edges and visual strength. Each koi we offer from them is carefully hand selected just for you. If you are in the search for a one of a kind Hageshiro koi that will elevate any collection you have, this striking koi boasts unparalleled individuality, contrast, and mystery.
