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. |
