0363 - Ginrin Showa [Miyatora]

The Ginrin Showa is a dazzling and highly sought-after variety of Japanese Koi Carp, instantly recognizable for its dramatic tricolour pattern and sparkling, diamond-like scales.

This variety features a deep, jet-black (sumi) base adorned with vibrant red (hi) and pure white markings, following the traditional Showa colour scheme. What sets the Ginrin Showa apart is its “Ginrin” (silver-reflective) scales, which shimmer brilliantly in the light and add a striking, metallic brilliance to the fish’s appearance.

Ginrin Showa are prized by collectors for their bold contrast, dynamic patterns, and eye-catching glitter effect. The best examples display balanced colour distribution, crisp pattern edges, and a strong, reflective shine across the body.

This variety is ideal for Koi enthusiasts looking to add a vibrant, show-stopping centrepiece to their pond or collection, combining classic Showa beauty with the added allure of sparkling scales.
