Shusui

The Shusui Koi is a captivating and unique variety of koi fish, renowned for its breathtaking blend of colors and distinct scalation. Originating in Japan, this doitsu (scale-less) variety is the result of a cross between the Asagi and German mirror carp, leading to its characteristic smooth, leather-like skin and a striking row of mirror-like scales that run along its dorsal line. The Shusui's color palette is a mesmerizing interplay of blue, white, and red-orange hues. Typically, the body showcases a soft sky-blue color, while vibrant red or red-orange patches adorn the sides and belly, creating a stunning contrast. One of the most striking features of the Shusui is its linear pattern of scales, which is often emphasized by a darker shade of blue or black. This koi variety is highly prized among collectors and koi enthusiasts for its elegance and the serene beauty it adds to any pond or water garden. Its tranquil appearance and easygoing temperament make it a cherished addition, offering a living work of art that embodies harmony and grace in the aquatic landscape.
