This 9.5" Sanke Koi (Taisho Sanke) showcases the classic and highly sought-after tri-color combination of vibrant red (hi), clean white (shiroji), and bold black (sumi). The pattern features a strong red base flowing evenly along the body, accented by well-placed sumi markings that add contrast and depth.
The hi is rich and consistent, while the white base remains clean and bright, creating excellent separation between colors. The sumi is developing nicely, with placement that enhances the overall balance without overpowering the pattern—an important trait in quality Sanke.
At 9.5 inches, this koi is entering a prime stage of development where both color intensity and pattern definition will continue to improve. The body conformation is clean and streamlined, indicating strong growth potential and future presence in the pond.
Sanke are one of the “Big Three” koi varieties, prized for their elegance, balance, and timeless appeal—making this fish a versatile and valuable addition to any collection.
