Kujaku Koi
Orange Kujaku variety Koi (Japanese: literally " brocaded carp" ), are ornamental domesticated varieties of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) that are kept for decorative purposes in outdoor koi ponds or water gardens. Koi are among the longest-living vertebrates, with some animals living over 200 years. Koi varieties are distinguished by colour, patterns, and scales. The most popular category of koi is the Gosanke, which is made up of the Kohaku, Taisho Sanshoku, and Showa Sanshoku varieties.Photographed at the handpick pools at Kibbutz Maagan Michael aquaculture breeding farm, Israel

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a Kujaku Koi, an exquisite variety of ornamental carp. The vibrant orange hues and intricate patterns on its scales are truly enchanting. Known as "brocaded carp" in Japanese, these Koi are cherished for their decorative purposes in outdoor ponds and water gardens. The photograph was taken at the handpick pools located in the aquaculture breeding farm of Kibbutz Maagan Michael, Israel. This farm is dedicated to nurturing and preserving these magnificent creatures. It serves as a testament to the intersection between animal farming, agriculture, and industrial practices. Koi fish are not only visually stunning but also hold incredible longevity among vertebrates, with some individuals living over two centuries! They belong to various categories based on their coloration, patterns, and scales. Among them, the Gosanke category stands out as one of the most popular varieties comprising Kohaku (white with red markings), Taisho Sanshoku (white with red and black markings), and Showa Sanshoku (black with white and red markings). This remarkable image captures both the gracefulness of this adult Kujaku Koi swimming effortlessly through tranquil waters while highlighting its significance within the aquaculture industry. Photographed by PhotoStock-Israel from Science Photo Library, this print offers a glimpse into nature's artistic wonders without any commercial connotations attached.
