Kohaku

The Kohaku is a striking and renowned breed of koi, celebrated for its simplicity and beauty. It is characterized by a pristine white body adorned with bold, vivid red markings, creating a striking contrast that captures attention. As one of the most revered koi varieties, the Kohaku set the foundation for other koi breeds and is often the centerpiece in many koi ponds. The ideal Kohaku displays a bright, unblemished white background, known as "shiroji," combined with rich, evenly distributed red patches referred to as "hi." These markings should be balanced and symmetrical, often extending from the lips to the tail. Kohaku's elegance lies in the absence of any other colors or patterns, focusing solely on the harmony and intensity of its white and red hues. This breed is an embodiment of simplicity and purity, making it a beloved choice for koi enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
