This 9" Doitsu Shiro Utsuri Koi makes an impression with its simple but dramatic combination of black sumi and a bright white ground.
The largely scaleless Doitsu body creates a smooth, clean appearance that allows the contrasting pattern to stand out. A broad area of open white through the front half of the body is framed by deep black markings on the head, pectoral fins and farther along the back.
Rather than being covered in heavy sumi, this Shiro Utsuri has generous areas of open white, giving the pattern a spacious, contemporary appearance when viewed from above. The darker markings in the fins provide additional contrast and tie the overall look together.
For someone looking for a black-and-white koi with the distinctive smooth appearance of Doitsu skin, this is an eye-catching addition to the pond.
This koi was bred and raised at Kloubec Koi Farm in Amana, Iowa—we never import koi for resale.
Our family-owned American koi farm encompasses 80 acres, more than 60 outdoor ponds and a 300,000-gallon indoor facility. Every Kloubec Koi completes our comprehensive health and quarantine protocol before being offered for sale, and our farm has never had a case of KHV.
