Initially they were called Yamatonishiki's, but most breeders in Japan now market their doitsu metallic sankes as heisei-nishiki's as apposed to the scaled version being Yamato-nishiki or Yamatonishiki.


Any other views???

So is it outdated / wrong to refer to this variety as Yamatonishiki?

Not at all, a Yamoto-nishiki is a metallic white Koi with Red and black markings. ( Basically a metallic Sanke.) when Wagoi ( full scale)
Now days, if it is a Doitsu Metallic white Koi with black/ red, orange or Yellow markings, it is called a Heisei-nishiki.
I see William Kelly of Happy Koi called them "Bling-koi"
