How To Judge Showa
In Showa, the Sumi design of the tail section is important. At the tail section, Sumi or Hi must end on pure white background, and the line between the color and the Shiroji is called the Odome.
The lack of real Shiroji after the Odome can be considerd a major fault. Sumi on the pectoral fins is a major attribute of Showa. Beautiful pectoral fins are extremely rare.
Because the face is the most appealing part of its beauty, it is important that the white, Sumi and Hi harmonize to create a beautiful design without interrupting each other.
