34021 Hi Utsuri 4 Year Female 26" SOLD

A Hi Utsuri is a bold, high-contrast Japanese koi variety known for its powerful combination of red and black. As one of the classic Utsurimono varieties, it features deep sumi rising over a red-orange base, creating the wrapped, dramatic pattern that gives the fish such a strong presence in the water. A well-balanced Hi Utsuri should show rich hi, solid sumi placement, and a pattern that moves naturally across the body without feeling crowded or uneven.

What makes Hi Utsuri so appealing is its intensity and simplicity. There are only two colors at work, but when they are balanced well, the effect is striking and memorable. The best examples have clean skin, strong contrast, and a body line that supports the variety’s bold presentation. For collectors who appreciate Japanese koi with classic Utsurimono character and unmistakable visual impact, Hi Utsuri offers a dramatic and enduring expression of Nishikigoi.
