Kindai Showa is a contemporary and refined variety of Showa Sanshoku, one of the classic types of Nishikigoi. The term “Kindai” translates to “modern” in Japanese, indicating that this variety represents a modern interpretation or evolution of the traditional Showa. Kindai Showa are characterized by a more balanced and often more white (Shiroji) base than traditional Showa, with the red (Hi) and black (Sumi) patterns being more strategically placed and less dominant. This results in a cleaner, more elegant appearance, with the white base often being more prominent. The modern aesthetic of Kindai Showa is appreciated for its harmony and the subtlety of its patterns.
