Marushin nisai Koromo, 45cm female, from Dainichi bloodlines. The pattern runs in steps: a plate on the head, then a series of koromo bands crossing the back down to the tail, with white between each one. The netting is clean on each scale inside the red. The white breaks are fairly even along the body. A banded Koromo like this reads well from above, with the steps giving the eye somewhere to travel.
