Ochiba Shigure

Ochiba Shigure

The Ochiba Shigure literally means autumn leaves on the water in Japanese. A blue grey koi with brown markings and a net like pattern. These koi are part of the Kawarimono group which is a broad classification used for a wide variety of koi that do not fit into other classes.

The Ochiba Shigure was developed by crossing a Soragoi and a Chagoi. The Soragoi is a blue grey koi with a net like pattern while the Chagoi is a uniform brown koi. By themselves they are plain looking koi, but when crossed it becomes the Ochiba Shigure, a striking koi that has become quite popular.
