0202 - Kohaku [Hasegawa]

The Kohaku is one of the most iconic and celebrated varieties of Japanese Koi Carp, renowned for its striking simplicity and elegance. Characterized by a pure white body adorned with bold, vibrant red (hi) markings, the Kohaku’s beauty lies in the contrast and clarity of its colours.

Patterns can range from large, flowing patches to more intricate, balanced designs, but the hallmark is always a clean white base and well-defined red markings.

Kohaku are highly prized by collectors and enthusiasts for their classic appearance and are considered a foundation variety in any serious Koi collection. The quality of a Kohaku is judged by the brightness and uniformity of its red markings, as well as the immaculate, snow-white skin.

Kohaku are ideal for Koi keepers seeking a timeless, traditional variety that embodies the essence of Japanese pond culture.
