Standard fin black and white scale

This striking koi displays a bold black and white (Shiro) pattern with large, flowing deep black (Sumi) patches across a crisp white body, extending into the fins and tail. The high-contrast, graphic patterning and well-defined edges give this fish a dramatic, painterly quality. This fish measures approximately 7–8 inches — a well-grown specimen with mature, sharply defined markings.

Its bold black and white colouration is a hallmark of the Shiro Utsuri — one of the most elegant and sought-after varieties in the koi world, prized for its striking monochrome contrast and timeless appeal.
