What “Kindai Showa” means
“Kindai” (近代) = modern in Japanese
- So a Kindai Showa is basically a modern-bred Showa with a different look from the traditional style

A Kindai Showa still has the three classic colors:
- Black (sumi)
- Red (hi)
- White (shiroji)
But compared to traditional Showa:
- ✔️ More white overall (clean, bright appearance)
- ✔️ Black is lighter and more refined, not as heavy
- ✔️ Patterns look balanced and elegant, less “busy”
- ✔️ Often resembles a blend between Showa and Taisho Sanke
