Hoshino
(Showa
origin)
In 1927 Jukichi Hoshino of Yamakoshi, Niigata, bred the first Showa Sanshoku from a Ki Utsuri and a Matsukawa-bake.
The Showa Sanshoku traces back to the Hoshino family of Niigata. According to the Japan Nishikigoi Promotion Association's chronology of varieties, Jukichi Hoshino of Yamakoshi village produced the first Showa Sanshoku in 1927 by crossing a Ki Utsuri with a Matsukawa-bake. The same chronology credits Kishichiro Hoshino of Ojiya with fixing the variety by crossing Showa with Shiro Utsuri.
