Hikari Muji

This category includes all Koi with shiny bodies but devoid of any markings. Hikari Muji is divided into “Yamabuki Ogon” (with pure yellow, and a metallic sheen on the entire body), “Platinum Ogon” (with shining platinum color), “Orange Ogon” (with orange sheen), “Kin Matsuba” (literally “golden pine needles,” for individual, glittering scales appearing like raised markings), and “Gin Matsuba” (literally “silvery pine needles,” for glittering scales on the platinum ground which look like raised markings), etc.

As they don’t have any markings, the condition of luster and body conformation become the essential points for appreciation of the Hikari Muji group. Excellent luster is the one that covers the whole body evenly.
