Tancho

In the world of Nishikigoi (ornamental carp), there are few varieties that carry such strong symbolism and national pride as the Tancho. With its appearance, which resembles the Japanese national flag (Hinomaru), it has become the embodiment of purity, elegance and nobility. Tancho is not a genetically distinct variety in the true sense of the word, but rather a unique color trait that can appear in several species.
