This 22-inch Kujaku has a rich, vibrant presence, with deep orange beni layered over a bright metallic base and finished with strong, even matsuba reticulation across the body. The scale pattern is clearly defined and consistent, creating that signature pinecone effect that gives Kujaku its depth and texture. The pattern is well distributed, with bold sections of color balanced by lighter metallic areas, allowing the fish to feel full without becoming heavy.
The body shows a solid, feminine frame with good width through the shoulders and a smooth, controlled taper toward the tail. The metallic sheen comes through clearly, giving the koi a polished, reflective quality that enhances both the color and the reticulation. The head carries a distinct, expressive pattern that adds character and draws attention forward. For anyone looking for a Kujaku koi for sale with strong Japanese koi character, clean scale definition, and a bright Nishikigoi finish, this fish offers a very bold and refined 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.
