Marushin nisai Ginrin Showa, 45cm female. A large red plate covers the head and shoulders, with a small sumi spot on the head. Behind it a band of sumi crosses the back, and the rear half is white with sumi and smaller red marks running to the tail. The gin is heavy and sparkles over both the red and white. The red plate is thick and even. A front-heavy Ginrin Showa, where that big shoulder red and the dark band behind it make a strong first impression.
