Showa Sanke, aka Showa Sanshoku, Black bodied
koi principally red (Hi), and white markings. Similar to Taisho
Sanke, but with more black markings, including on the head and margins
of the pectoral and tail fins.
Red (Hi) should be blood/dark red, black (Sumi) like darkest night.
Some black on fins allowed, a lot undesirable as is any red.
By Hi: "He", Red Patterns on the Body:
| Hi Showa: "Heavy Red" pattern like
meandering islands of red that are interconnected. |
|
| Kindai Showa: More white pattern with
meandering islands of red that are not interconnected. |
|
By Red Markings on the Head:
| Maruten: With a "Crown on the
head". A reddish mark, though with more red on the body. |
|
| Tancho: With a "Red Sun" marking
on head, and lacking other red on the body. Best if the
"spot" is bright red, w/o bleeding color, and circular,
centered on the head. |
