What is “Sky-Blue Koi Story”?

“Sky-Blue Koi Story” is Mellojoy’s Japanese-style squeeze toy series inspired by traditional Japanese Nishikigoi koi.From the fine texture of the scales to the plump eyes and the three-dimensional feel of the fins, each figure is meticulously crafted, resulting in a collectible series where each color evokes a distinct world of its own. Elements of Japanese aesthetic sensibility—such as ukiyo-e prints, waves, and clouds—are expressed throughout the designs.

Introducing the Color Variations

Sky Blue

This is the iconic color of the series, featuring pale sky blue with white wave spray accents. When the translucent silicone catches the light, it shimmers like a carp swimming underwater, and when held in your hand, it reveals a mysterious effect as white marbling spreads across its surface.

Jade Green

A deep green reminiscent of genuine jade. The translucent silicone creates a gem-like texture, and its beauty lies in how the color appears to change depending on the angle of the light.

Terracotta (Antique Pottery)

A design brimming with Japanese charm, featuring a terracotta color reminiscent of earthenware and antique pottery, accented with turquoise blue lines. The matte texture and faded-looking hues evoke the charm of an antique work of art.

Gold (Golden)

A popular color for good luck, featuring a beautiful gradient from orange to gold. The glossy, translucent silicone shimmers in the light, giving it a presence truly worthy of the name “Golden Koi.”

Red, Black, and White

This is the most striking color in the series, featuring a bold combination of red, black, and white. Inspired by the red-and-white Nishikigoi, this color scheme is particularly popular among collectors.

Texture: The unique feel of thick, creamy yogurt

The texture resembles thick yogurt (Frozen Cream). It has a unique, viscous consistency, and when you press it with your hand, you’ll enjoy the sensation of it slowly sinking in. When you pull it, it stretches out, and when you let go, it slowly returns to its original koi shape—this sequence of movements is addictive.
