Hand-Painted Detail
Every scale, feather and marking is painted by hand to match the real animal — so detailed up close, so charming on the shelf.

A single, sturdy piece — no assembly, no fuss. Set it on a desk or shelf and it holds its pose, ready to collect and show off.
Koi are living art: colored carp bred in the mountain villages of Niigata, Japan, since the 1820s. Kohaku — crimson patterns on snow white — was one of the very first varieties breeders fixed, and many keepers still call it the king of koi. AHB’s PLUS edition gives it a round, contented body, pearlescent scales and a red pattern that begins just behind the head.
Brocaded Carp
Their Japanese name, nishikigoi, means ‘brocaded carp’ — koi on its own simply means carp. They are domesticated, color-bred Amur carp.
Fish Into Dragon
In Chinese legend a carp that swims upstream and leaps the Dragon Gate becomes a dragon, which is why koi stand for perseverance and success.
Whiskers Tell
Koi have small barbels at the corners of the mouth — an easy way to tell them from goldfish, which have none.
Long-Lived Legends
Koi can live for decades. A scarlet koi named Hanako was claimed to be 226 years old in 1974, though most keepers count on a still-impressive few decades.
