This 26-inch Ginrin Showa has a powerful, mature presence, with a deep sumi base supporting bold beni and clean shiroji across the body. The pattern is dynamic and well-developed, with black rising strongly through the frame and interacting naturally with the red and white to create a layered, high-contrast look. The head carries a heavy sumi presence with integrated color, giving the fish a commanding front view, while the pattern continues with strong movement down the body.
The ginrin is visible across the surface, adding a bright, reflective sparkle that enhances contrast without detracting from the strength of the Showa pattern. The body shows a full, feminine frame with excellent volume and a smooth, confident taper, allowing the pattern to sit comfortably across the larger size. For anyone looking for a Ginrin Showa koi for sale with classic Japanese koi power and a luminous Nishikigoi finish, this fish offers a bold, impressive, and very well-balanced 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.
