There are only two colors, black and white, so there is nowhere for a flaw to hide. The sumi has to be deep and glossy, the white has to be clean, and the pattern has to balance on its own without any red to carry it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOmosako Koi Farm in Hiroshima has built its whole program around this one variety, and most of the koi they raise each year are Shiro Utsuri. This male is 18.1 inches at two years old, which leaves him plenty of growing to do. Utsuri black is still a work in progress at this age, so expect his sumi to keep firming up over the next few seasons. Watching that happen is a big part of the fun of owning one young.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat to look for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSumi that wraps down the sides of the body, not just across the back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean white skin between the black, with no yellowing or pink blotches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack at the base of the pectoral fins, a classic Utsuri trait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA head pattern that looks deliberate, whether the sumi splits the face or leaves it clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft grey patches under the skin, which often come up as black with age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1287\/3545\/files\/All_Japan_Nishiki_Koi_-_associaton_baner.png?v=1745249181\" alt=\"All Japan Nishiki Koi Association\" width=\"338\" height=\"70\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kodama Koi Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50512134438982,"sku":"y0609t001","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1287\/3545\/files\/y0609t001.jpg?v=1790443771","url":"https:\/\/playitkoi.com\/es\/products\/kodama-koi-farm-limited-time-shiro-utsuri-1","provider":"Play It Koi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
