Biography

Kohaku are white Koi with hi markings that should be of an even intensity of color. The color of a Koi can be improved and stabilized over the years by color feeding and constant attention to water quality. The main color should be snow white, with no yellowing and should exhibit a fine luster. The kiwa must be sharp. However, in young, unfinished Kohaku the scales are still kokesuke (semi-transparent); the pattern definition will stabilize as the Koi matures. Head hi is essential. On a "classic" Kohaku, this head hi should form a U-shape ending level with the eyes, but hanatsuki or kuchibeni are nowadays just as acceptable. Hi extending over one or both eyes is also acceptable. The fins are preferred to be snow white without any traces of hi. A Kohaku brandishing stand alone hi on the head is considered a Tancho and is judged in a separate class. Ideally, Tancho hi should be centered and circular in shape, resembling the sun pattern on the Japanese flag. If this type of marking is accompanied by hi elsewhere on the body of the Koi, it is called "Maruten Kohaku." Kohaku can be further described depending on the patterning of their hi. "Stepped" patterns are recognized by consecutive "islands" of hi on the Koi's head and body. A Kohaku brandishing 2 "steps" is called nidan, literally meaning two-stepped in Japanese. Sandan and yondan are the respective terms for three and four step patterns. For continuous head-to-tail hi patterns to be acceptable, they must be interesting. The best example is still the classic inazuma or lightening strike pattern of hi running from head to tail. Body hi need not be symmetrical, or even conventionally balanced, as long as it is pleasing to the eye. But hi confined to one side of the Koi when viewed from above, or making the fish head-heavy or tail-heavy, is a fault. The Japanese still prefer a break in hi at the base of the tail, although many top-grade Kohaku do not have this. |
