Marushin nisai Doitsu Showa, 48cm female. Red sits on the head with a sumi mark at the shoulder, followed by a broad red band across the body and a long red stripe running back toward the tail. Sumi is limited to the head and shoulder for now. The Hi is bright, and the plate edges are fairly clean against the white. The white ground is clear and the doitsu skin is smooth. A red-and-white stepped look with a touch of black, and an easy pattern to read from above.
