Giant Swimming Koi by Castart Studios
The Giant Swimming Koi is manufactured using our ‘lay-up’ technique, which allows us to produce a large impressive garden piece that is not unmanageable in mass. Can be left outside year-round. Koi are members of the carp family of fish. Carp have long been kept and bred as pets in many civilizations. The ancient Romans kept them in ponds and fountains and bred the ancestors of today’s common Goldfish. In China, they are recognized as good luck symbols. The colorful Koi carp available today are the result of a strain first bred 160 years ago in Japan from a naturally occurring mutation. The word Koi actually translates to “carp” in Japanese.

Great size and detail. It fits perfectly in our front garden. We’ve had it for a year and it’s still looking as good as the day we received it.
