A rich, deep orange-red (hi) base is overlaid with heavy, sweeping black sumi that spreads across the body in bold, dramatic strokes — more sumi coverage than a typical Hi Showa, giving this fish a darker, more intense character that sets it apart. The interplay between the deep orange and the inky black creates a pattern that feels almost volcanic, like fire breaking through dark rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this fish especially compelling is that the sumi is still developing — Showa sumi is known to shift, deepen, and reorganize with age and season, meaning this fish's pattern will continue to evolve into something even more dramatic over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelected at the Select grade for its rich hi saturation, heavy and well-distributed sumi coverage, and the bold, high-contrast pattern that makes this a standout fish in any collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Makes This Fish Special\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep, rich orange-red (hi) base with heavy, sweeping black sumi coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore sumi-dominant than a typical Hi Showa — darker, more intense character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSumi continues to develop with age — pattern will evolve over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelect grade — chosen for hi depth, sumi coverage, and overall visual impact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10\"–12\" size — an established fish with fully developed color expression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHi Showa are hardy, adaptable koi that thrive in well-maintained ponds with good filtration and water quality.
