Also known as Taisho Sanke, or often simply abbreviated to
Sanke, the taisho sanshoku is genetically a white koi with red
and black
markings.
It is named for the time in
which it was developed, the Taisho period in Japanese history. The body appears primarily white, and the
colors that sit on the white
should be in a spotted formation rather than banded, and there should be no black on the face.
