The original Showa stabilized in the Showa Emperor era (1927-1989) were basically black koi with heavy red/orange markings with very little white. The modern or “Kindai” Showa has a better balance of black, red and white but most of the ones I’ve seen aren’t as stable as the old style Showa. The red is also more red than orange in the Kindai Showa.
