Kohaku with a twist

Budo Goromo starts as a Kohaku, then adds a fine bluish-black scale reticulation over the hi. Where the two overlap, the red darkens into deep grape-purple — the effect that gives the variety its name.
Judges want an even, well-defined grape overlay confined to the hi — never spilling onto the shiroji. The white ground should stay clean and bright to frame the pattern.
