AHB Series 21 – Asagi Koi – Cyprinus carpio | Fish

THE ANCESTRAL KOI · where koi began

A Series of Laugh and Grow

Real animals, reimagined plump and cheerful — painted in lifelike detail, sculpted impossibly cute.

Chubby & Full of Character

Rounded, soft and undeniably cute — yet every scale, fin and marking is hand-painted true to the real animal. The reaction it gets in person is always the same: so detailed, and so adorable.

Ready to Display

A single, sturdy piece that stands on its own included base — no assembly, no fuss. Set it on a desk or shelf and it holds its happy pose, ready to collect and show off.

The Blue Net

Each scale on the Asagi’s back is edged in pale blue over a darker base, creating a crisp net or honeycomb pattern — one of the most prized and recognizable looks in all of koi. The paintwork reproduces that delicate reticulation scale by scale.

A Blush of Red

Below the blue, warm red-orange (hi) runs along the cheeks, sides and fin bases. That cool-and-warm balance is the Asagi’s signature, and the reason it has stayed beloved for generations.

The Ancestor of Koi

Many of today’s celebrated varieties trace their lineage back to the Asagi. To keep one is to keep a living piece of koi history — the fish where it all began.

Calm, Rounded Elegance

The Asagi’s beauty is quiet rather than flashy, which makes it a lovely fit for a plumped, peaceful figure — serene koi tradition, rounded into something you can set on a shelf.
