This 19-inch Ginrin Sakura Kohaku has a soft, elegant presence, with a flowing persimmon red pattern that breaks naturally across a bright white base. The red appears slightly more open and organic than a traditional stepped Kohaku, giving it that gentle Sakura-style feel, while still maintaining good balance from head to tail. The ginrin scales are clearly visible and evenly distributed, adding a consistent sparkle that lifts the pattern and gives the fish a light-catching, refined finish.
The body shows a smooth, feminine frame with good proportion and a steady taper, allowing the pattern to sit comfortably without feeling heavy. The shiroji remains clean and luminous, providing strong contrast against the warmpersimmon red while keeping the overall look fresh and composed. For anyone looking for a Ginrin Sakura Kohaku koi for sale with classic Japanese koi character and a softer, more decorative Nishikigoi expression, this fish offers a graceful and visually appealing presentation.
How are koi packaged for shipping?
Each koi is double-bagged with oxygen and shipped in an insulated, temperature-controlled box.
Do I need to be home when it arrives?
Yes — someone 18 or older needs to be available to receive the shipment as soon as it arrives. Prompt unboxing and acclimation is important for the fish’s health.
What happens in bad weather?
We may delay shipment during extreme weather to protect the koi, and will let you know if that happens.
Can I combine multiple koi into one shipment?
Yes — multiple purchases can typically be combined into a single shipment. Ask us about holding your koi if you’re still deciding on others.
Factors we account for
- Koi size and quantity — larger or multiple fish need more water volume and larger boxes.
- Box weight — water, oxygen, and insulation add real, billable weight.
- Distance and destination — domestic vs. international, and how remote the delivery address is.
- Season and weather — extreme heat or cold requires heat packs or extra insulation to protect the fish in transit.
- Speed of delivery — live animals ship overnight or via expedited air cargo, never standard ground.
