About the Self-Black Shamo
Self-Black denotes a wholly solid black bird with no contrasting hackle or pattern, a uniform beetle-green-glossed black across the entire plumage. On the Shamo's hard, sparse feathering and bare red points the effect is austere and statuesque, matching the breed's reputation for sheer presence. It aligns with the Japanese Kokushoku (black) and the core APA Black variety, colour scoring no points in the standard.
