0722 - Maruten Kohaku [Maruhiro]

The Maruten Kohaku is a distinguished and highly sought-after variety of Japanese Koi Carp, celebrated for its classic elegance and unique head marking.

Like the traditional Kohaku, Maruten Kohaku feature a pure white body adorned with vibrant red (hi) patterns. What sets this variety apart is the presence of a distinct, circular red marking (the “Maruten” or “crown”) on the head, separate from the other red patches on the body.

This creates a striking and balanced visual appeal, with the head marking often considered a symbol of good fortune and prestige among koi enthusiasts.

Maruten Kohaku are prized for the clarity of their white skin, the richness and uniformity of their red markings, and the symmetry between the head and body patterns. The best examples display a bright, snow-white base, a well-defined Maruten spot on the head, and harmonious red patterns along the body.

Maruten Kohaku are ideal for Koi keepers looking to add a classic, eye-catching variety with a special “crown” marking. Perfect for making a statement in any pond or collection.
