Are you sure that it is a Sanke? Note the sumi along the koi's right gill plate and up to the head. Classic Showa trait. Also, and although the sumi is not fully developed, tends to look "flat" with a slight wrapping effect.

It will be interesting to see it in a year or two but do not be surprised if your Sanke is a Showa.
