Koi of December 2000


Female by Miyaishi Koi Farm

Tancho Sanke has 3 types of Sumi ; large, medium, and small Sumi spots. Sometimes, very tiny Sumi spots appear here and there on the body. They could extremely destroy the whole beauty. In case of this Koi, big Sumi are arranged on the whole body in good balance. This is an ideal Sumi arrangement.
The Hi on the head has Sumi. When asked if the Sumi should be there or not, I must say it would be better without Sumi. However, because the Hi is relatively small, with its Sumi, it holds powerful impression. Regular arrangements of big Sumi on its pure white ground make her a top quality piece fo Tancho Sanke. I strongly recommend you should take it when you come across this kind of extraordinary piece.
