This 9" Shiro Utsuri Koi has a bold, dramatic look with heavy black sumi wrapping across the body and contrasting areas of bright white. Rather than a delicate black-and-white pattern, this fish has a darker, more powerful appearance that immediately stands out from above.
The strong sumi extends from the head through the body, creating an irregular, high-contrast pattern that gives this koi plenty of individual character. Bright white areas break through the darker markings and provide the contrast that makes Shiro Utsuri such an eye-catching variety.
At 9 inches, this young koi already has a distinctive pattern and strong pond presence. Shiro Utsuri can also be especially interesting to watch mature, as sumi may strengthen, recede, or become more defined as the koi develops.
For someone who prefers a dark, boldly patterned Shiro Utsuri rather than a predominantly white fish, this is an especially appealing choice.
