Tancho Grade A Koi Carp Cyprinus Carpio

Pure Tancho (tan-CHO) koi are only formally recognised to be sub-varieties of the Gosanke koi, that is, Kohaku, Sanke and Showa koi but the pattern itself can be seen in many other varieties including Goshiki and Hariwake koi.

The word ‘Tancho’ literally translates to ‘red sun’ and, as per their name, Tancho koi have a single circle of hi (red) colouration on their head resembling a red sun. To be a proper Tancho koi, this must be the only hi on the whole koi. So, a Tancho Kohaku must be pure white with only the Tancho pattern while Tancho Sanke and Tancho Showa can have a black and white pattern on the rest of the body as long as there is no other red apart from on the head. When referring to the pattern rather than the formal sub-variety, it is common to refer to it as a ‘Tancho spot’. For example, you could say that a particular Goshiki has a nice Tancho spot without referring to it as a Tancho Goshiki.

The first Tancho variety was the Tancho Kohaku and was produced by breeding 2 Kohaku koi together. This pairing produced a wide range of Kohaku fry with varying amounts of hi. Many of these would have been rejected and only the nicest ones keep on for growing and further breeding. At this point, no breeders were actively looking for a Tancho Kohaku, but it is said that one breeder came across a Kohaku fry with no hi on its body and the perfect spot of hi on its head.

The breeder decided to keep it even though it did not satisfy the requirements of a Kohaku at the time. But it did resemble the Japanese flag with its red sun on a pure white background and that appealed to the koi breeder and to many others who saw the fish. He decided to call it a Tancho koi after the red-crowned crane native to Japan which was called Tancho and had a single red spot on the crown of its head.

From this, the breeder was desperate to breed more koi like this beautiful Tancho he had found but soon found it to be incredibly difficult. The specific pattern of a Tancho is impossible to breed for and the breeders just have to get lucky with their fry. This means that the number of good quality Tancho in a batch of fry is much lower than many other varieties and this was quickly discovered by the original breeder and by other breeders who attempted to repeat his results. Eventually, however, more and more Tancho koi started to hit the market until it eventually became the popular variety that it is today. Unfortunately, it is not any easier to breed Tancho koi nowadays than it was then!

Beautiful, Durable Jewelry Box with Amazing Storage — Everyone Wants One!
Color: White + Gold
This jewelry box is absolutely adorable! We ordered it as a birthday gift for a little girl, but once it arrived, every girl in the house (including me!) wanted one of our own. The outside is beautiful and durable, and it comes in multiple colors. The top is lockable and includes two removable watch holders, which is such a nice touch. Inside, everything is lined with soft velvet that feels really high-quality. There are four different drawers, each with different compartment sizes so you can organize rings, earrings, bracelets—everything. My favorite part is the two side doors that snap open to reveal space for 16 necklaces total (eight on each side). The hooks make it easy to hang them without tangling, and each side has a little pouch to catch the ends. It’s honestly the most thoughtfully designed jewelry box I’ve found at this price. Beautiful, functional, and the perfect gift!

Stylish, elegant with so much room!
Color: White + Gold
This jewelry box is amazing. So well made and very stylish. Plenty of storage for rings, bracelets and earrings. The side panels hold plenty of necklaces. It even has compartments for watches. This was exactly what I wanted. I even bought a second one as a gift for my daughter!

Well made & pretty!
Color: Gold
Love it! Great storage options. Easy to access all drawers & side pockets. Looks nice when closed. Kind of an "art deco" look.
