This large embroidered koi fish back patch shows a golden koi carp turning through a swirling blue water current, framed by pink cherry blossom branches and finished with a hand heat-cut black border. Built to command the full back panel of a denim jacket or motorcycle vest, it turns a plain garment into a statement piece drawn straight from Japanese tattoo art. Detailed stitching and vibrant, fade-resistant colors keep the koi sharp wash after wash.
