Kujaku koi are renowned for their unique combination of color, luster, and scale patterning. Kujaku (meaning “peacock” in Japanese) live up to their name with vibrant red, orange, or yellow markings accented by black reticulation over a pristine platinum white base. This blend of vivid color, while remaining calm and graceful, is truly eye-catching. The scale patterns are inherited from the Matsuba family but are dramatically enhanced with additional color for greater visual impact.
Combining metallic luster and patterned layers gives each Kujaku a richly detailed appearance. These koi are a sight to behold in any pond, especially when sunlight shines behind them, reflecting off their skin. Koi enthusiasts favor them due to their balanced appearance, strong body shapes, and bold contrasts that become more pronounced as the koi matures.
At Fitz’s Fish Ponds, we source Kujaku from esteemed Japanese breeders such as Omosako, Marusei, and Ikarashi Kazuto. These farms are recognized for cultivating koi with deep luster, symmetrical reticulation, and vibrant hi (red/orange) markings. Whether expanding a koi collection or looking for a new showpiece, our Kujaku selection adds layered elegance and brilliance to your pond.
