It is true that when breeding Showa the all black fry are kept at the first cull. However, this does not help to distinguish larger koi exhibiting all three colours.
Taisho means "great righteousness". The proper name for a Showa is Showa Sanshoku and this variety was developed a little later in the Showa era of Emperor Hirohito — Jukichi Hoshino has been credited with breeding the first Showa in using a Ki Utsuri as one of the parents. These early Showa were of poor quality and it was not until Tomiji Kobayashi crossed Showa with Kohaku in the 's that the high quality Showa we recognise today were created. Ideally, a Sanke should have a good white ground colour with a red pattern.
Ideally, the red pattern elements should be like a Kohaku; large, with two, three or four steps of even hue and extending onto the head but not covering the eyes.
The black pattern elements should be arranged in a stepping stone-like fashion above the lateral line, similar to that of the Bekko variety. It is preferable that the black is situated on the white rather than the red and a black pattern element on the shoulder is particularly appreciated.
There should be no black on the head. While black on the head of a Sanke is not desirable, it does not appear to be such a big demerit as it used to be. This is because the black of a Sanke is of very high quality. It is shiny and lacquer-like photo 1. The red of a Showa is different to that of a Kohaku or Sanke.
Young Showa fry are black. This dark orange lightens and in a few years a very deep crimson colour can develop. As with all the gosanke, the white of a Showa should be snow white.
The black on a Showa should rise up from below the lateral line, like mountain peaks, in the manner of the Utsurimono variety class. There should be black red and white on the head.
A distinctive head marking dividing the head called menware is particularly desirable. Instead of delicate tejima stripes, the pectoral fins of a Showa should have a tight ball of black at the base of the fin, known as motoguro. Alternatively, sumi is often seen on the pectoral fins of Showa. This feature is called Motogoro mow-toe go-row.
Some Showa have Motogoro that is a solid block of pigment at the fin joint. Some have sumi that flares outward in streaks instead of a single patch that remains close to the body. This trait blends nicely with a bold Showa pattern. However, Motogoro is not always present on all Showa. One special note, Kindai Showa kin-die showa is a more modern version of Showa. It has predominantly more white areas than a traditional Showa.
However, it will still have interlocking bands of sumi and beni, just like most Showa. As a general rule, these are the five things to look for when identifying Sanke or Showa. However, not every koi will exhibit these characteristics. Age, water quality and lineage play significant roles in the development of each of the mentioned traits.
Showa may have sumi at the base of fins and on the head or face. Their colors appear in bands rather than spots. Great article. Very interesting, we learned a lot from it.
Would a white koi with one red spot on left eye and numerous black spots be a sanke or a tancho sanke? I have a 3 year old Tancho. Until this past summer it was almost perfect, white with the vivid almost symmetrical red making on the head.
The fish was a not an insignificant amount of money to buy. Has the emergence of the black marking affected the value? It sounds like your Koi has developed a shimi a tiny spot of black pigment.

By Grant Gerke. Published on February 29, Learn to tell the difference between Sanke or Showa. The Color Rule Know the difference? This is a Sanke. Showa vs sanke. Sanke as well as different sumi bloodlines that show different traits Red Beni or Hi Many people seem to want incredible beni on small fish.
With Sanke koi you tend to find that the pattern stays above the lateral line of the fishs body just on the back. Showa vs sankesemua ikan yang ada di chanel ini tidak dijual belikan dan ikan yang ada di video ini sudah habis terjual jadi mohon maaf apabila ada yang be. The Sanke has predominately white fins where the Showa will have black in the fins. Traditionally the dominant color in a Showa is their hi with sumi and white in roughly equal proportions.
If more than half the body is red when viewed from above the Showa is referred to as a Hi Showa. The difference between the Sanke and the Showa is that the Sanke has a white base with red and black markings while the showa has a black base with red and white markings. See left fish in the image above.
