Matsukawabake

Matsukawabake (maht-SOO-kah-wah-BAHK-keh): The Matsukawabake is a striking koi variety admired for its beautiful and bold patterning. This fish typically displays a white or light-colored base overlaid with large, irregular black (sumi) patches along its back and sides, creating a dramatic and artistic contrast. The sumi markings often resemble ink brush strokes, giving the Matsukawabake a unique, almost calligraphic appearance.

Part of the Utsurimono family, Matsukawabake koi combine traditional Japanese aesthetics with a bold, graphic style that stands out in any pond. Their clean, scaleless (Doitsu) skin often has a smooth, mirror-like finish, adding to their visual appeal.

Matsukawabake koi are known for their calm demeanor and hardy nature, making them suitable for both novice and experienced koi keepers.
