Sanke Pond Animals

Taisho Sanshoku, or known as Sanke (which means three colors), so called because this type was first shown at the exhibition taisho in 1915 (age taisho 1912-1826). Sanke is a non-metallic fish with dual color patterns - red (hi) and black (sumi) - the basic color white body.

Black on Sanke form small patches throughout the fish's body, except the head. Pond animals is very beautiful. Although this color combination she should be on top of a white background, sumi can also cover the red or white, or alternately in red and white. Koi white base color with black markings (which is desirable) called sumi tsubo, while koi with black spots covering the red color called kasane sumi.

Ideally, Sanke should have tejima (three or four black line) on the pectoral fins. The lines were sometimes also found in other parts of the fins. Although as pond animals, koi are often included in the championship. For example Sanke: hi pattern on an unusual head equipped with hi another on the tip of the nose (kuchibeni). Sumi pattern concentrated on the left side of the back of a well-balanced fish.
