This 21-inch Kujaku has a bright, eye-catching presence, with vibrant orange beni layered over a clean metallic white base and finished with strong matsuba reticulation across the scales. The netting is clearly defined and consistent, giving the fish that classic pinecone-like texture that makes Kujaku so distinctive among Japanese koi. The pattern flows naturally from head to tail, with well-spaced color sections that allow both the metallic sheen and the reticulation to stand out clearly.
The body shows a full, feminine frame with good width through the shoulders and a smooth, balanced taper, giving the koi both substance and elegance in the water. The skin appears luminous, enhancing the contrast between the bright beni and the darker scale centers. The head remains relatively clean, helping to keep the overall look sharp and focused. For anyone looking for a Kujaku koi for sale with classic Nishikigoi character, strong scale definition, and a polished metallic finish, this fish offers a very refined and visually striking 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.
