About

Kyo zakura is the name applied when crossing the azuma nishiki with the ranchu produces a fish that closely resembles the sakura nishiki. The sakura nishiki itself was made in the Showa era by back-crossing the Edo nishiki to the ranchu; it is marked by variegation over transparent scales and was only registered as a variety in the Heisei era. Fish of the same appearance also arise from the azuma nishiki and ranchu pairing, and those are distinguished as kyo zakura. The build is the round, dorsal-less ranchu body carrying red-and-white variegation with the soft texture that transparent scales give. Since only the ancestry differs, telling the two apart requires knowing where the fish came from.
