Showa (Dainichi Super Monster Line)

The sumi pattern really is the star of the show with this individual. The smaller Beni plates really suit this Koi due to the heavy, meandering Sumi pattern. As previously mentioned Super Monster Showa are famed for their eventual Sumi quality so this is going to look outrageous at 55/60cm. A very harmonious, visually striking Showa that I have a very strong vision for moving forward.

I have kept quiet with these. I purchased a box of selected Super Monster and Mona Lisa Showa back in November. To put it lightly they cost an absolute fortune and they were very small when they landed. In all honesty this is the only way of purchasing Koi from such lines without paying astronomical fees in the auctions. That said, when you buy 50/60 pcs they seriously add up. Anyway they were 12-14cm on average and the patterns were quite cluttered so I was concerned they wouldn't come across too well on a picture. Often a bit of size and body volume just helps frame the patterns and it all makes a bit more sense than on a far smaller Koi. So the Super Monster line (as the name suggests) is famed for generating big, aggressive body styles that display plenty of body volume. For this reason they are in high demand and Dainichi is the master at not flooding the market, which maintains his price point, which as we have explored. This line is also renowned for big, bold Sumi patterns that have a very lustrous appearance.

I very much doubt Showa from this line will be available in the UK, so I am proud to be able to offer these out to you guys. There wont be many in the UK that can say they have one of these Tosai swimming around in their pond. Overwintering options are available if required. Delivery can be made from £30 per box Nationwide. Collection is also welcome from MK17, just a few minutes from junction 13 M1. Please note payment MUST be made within 7 days, failure to do so will result in the Koi being relisted.
