Shiro Bekko is essentially a Sanke without the red — a white body with well-placed sumi across the back. The variety was fixed in the Taisho era alongside Sanke and remains a favourite of collectors who prize minimalist elegance.
The shiroji (white ground) must be bright and unbroken — any yellowing knocks a fish down significantly. Sumi should be lacquer-black, evenly balanced across the back, and never on the head.
Frequently Asked Questions
Shiro Utsuri is a black koi with white markings — sumi is the base colour. Shiro Bekko is a white koi with black accents — shiroji is the base colour.
Generally yes. Bekko sumi tends to be more finished (stable) than Sanke or Showa sumi, one reason the variety appeals to first-time collectors of black-and-white koi.
