Kodama Koi Farm - Limited Time - Showa III

One-of-a-kind Showa from Kodama Koi Farm

What Makes Showa So Special?

The Showa is a striking embodiment of power, artistry, and tradition, all flowing through the vivid contrast of jet-black sumi, fiery red beni, and snowy white shiroji. As one of the most dynamic koi varieties, Showa demands attention not just for its coloration, but for the way those colors move in perfect harmony across the body.

Dainichi's bloodline is renowned for producing Showa with exceptional depth of color, strong body conformation, and sumi placement that seems painted by instinct. Every Showa tells a dramatic story, where boldness meets balance and intensity finds elegance.

What to look for:

• Inky, lacquer-black sumi that anchors the pattern with strength and depth
• Deep beni that blazes with clarity and consistency across the body
• Bright, unblemished shiroji, offering stark contrast and visual drama
• Dynamic patterns that wrap around the body in a bold interplay of color
• Thick, powerful body conformation, a hallmark of Dainichi breeding
• Balanced head markings, often featuring all three colors
