About Tancho
A Tancho Kohaku is a pure-white koi with a single, ideally-shaped red "hi no maru" (rising sun) on the head — no other red anywhere on the body. When the circle is well-placed and round, it's one of the most prized koi patterns in Japan.

Care tip
The pristine white (shiroji) of a Tancho is critical to its appeal — clear, well-filtered water and a UV clarifier keep the white bright and the red vivid.
