Koi of November 1999

Showa Sanshoku Female 59cm 5years old

  Showa Sanshoku stands out itself with "beauty in originality" expressed by "Sumi pattern." In a variety of Taisho Sanshoku, Sumi appears in a certain way and is not likely to create an unusual pattern. On the other hand, Sumi on Showa Sanshoku appears anywhere. This irregular Sumi creates an original pattern of its own.
This is a charm of Showa Sanshoku.
Showa Sanshoku of this month has a typical 3-stepped pattern. Sumi takes a good position on Shiroji (white ground) exactly along its Hi pattern. Hi and Sumi combines beautifully from its back to its tail joint to make her an excellent piece of Showa.
It is "bright and beautiful Hi pattern" of the first step that adds another charm to the excellent Showa. Its beauty results from that the left half is covered with Sumi. The big Sumi makes a good contrast. Because of this, Hi enhances itself and catches people's attention.
