Jyami Zumi(ja' me) Many tiny dots of Sumi. Also called Jyari (gravel) Zumi or Goma (sesami) Jyami. The dots do not coalesce to form large Sumi spots, so the dots appear as dirty specs which make the Koi appear undignified. The dots can occur on both Hi plates and Shiroji, and lower the Koi's value. Jyami is the group of small Sumi spots. Shimi is a single dot.
