Marushin nisai Doitsu Showa, 48cm female. A round Hi mark sits on the head, separate from the body pattern. Behind it, red patches on the shoulder carry small sumi spots, the back is open white, and a red plate with sumi finishes near the tail. The red is bright and the sumi sits as crisp spots. The white ground is clean and broad. A light, well-spaced pattern, and the separate head marking gives her a neat maruten face.
