25017 Shisui 3 Year Female 22" SOLD

A Shusui is a clean, elegant Japanese koi known for its smooth Doitsu body, soft blue coloration, and the distinctive row of mirror scales that runs along the dorsal line. Developed from Asagi, Shusui carries the same calm, traditional character but with a more streamlined and modern appearance. The contrast between the light blue body, the neat dorsal scaling, and the red or orange hi along the sides gives this Nishikigoi a refined look that feels both graceful and highly distinctive in the water.

What makes Shusui especially appealing is its clarity. With very few scales across the body, the pattern and skin quality are easy to appreciate, and every detail becomes more visible. A well-balanced Shusui should have clean skin, even side color, and a tidy, symmetrical line of scales from head to tail. For collectors who appreciate Japanese koi with understated beauty and strong visual structure, Shusui offers a timeless and very elegant expression of Nishikigoi.
