An Asagi is one of the oldest and most respected varieties of Japanese koi, admired for its calm beauty and classic netted appearance. This Nishikigoi is known for a blue to blue-gray body with dark reticulation across the scales, paired with red or orange hi that typically appears along the sides, cheeks, belly, and fins. The beauty of Asagi comes from balance and subtlety, with the cool blue body and warm secondary color creating a look that feels both traditional and deeply refined.

What makes Asagi so enduring is its quiet elegance. Rather than relying on bold contrast, the variety stands out through symmetry, clean skin, and the orderly arrangement of color across the body. A strong Asagi should have even scale pattern, attractive side hi, and a smooth body line that allows the koi’s understated character to show clearly in the water. For collectors drawn to Japanese koi with heritage, grace, and timeless Nishikigoi appeal, Asagi remains one of the most distinctive and admired varieties.
