Taisho Sanke, aka Taisho Sanshoku, White koi with
principally red (Hi), and lesser black (Sumi) markings.
Red (Hi) should be blood/dark red, black (Sumi) like darkest night.
Some black on fins allowed, a lot undesirable as is any red there.
There sould be no black markings on the head. The body should have
large red markings complimented with a pleasing distribution of smaller
black patches.
By Hi: "He", Red Patterns on the Body:
| Aka Sanke: "Heavy Red" pattern
like meandering islands of red that are interconnected. |
|
| Subo Sumi: Disjointed pattern, islands of
red, with black (sumi) independent (with white surrounding both
black and red markings). |
|
| Nidan (Ni is two in Japanese): Two Step
pattern. Two islands of red color that are not interconnected, with
black interspersed, overlapping and not. |
|
By Red Markings on the Head:
| Kuchibeni: "Lipstick"; with red on
the oral lobes. |
|
| Menkaburi: With "A Hood on the
head". Going behind, below the eyes often to the mouth. |
|
| 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. |
