| Matt, one thing I forgot to mention
Just as men's ties change in width and style, there is also some of that in koi popularity.
The pendulum a few years ago was all kichinai snake, minimal but well placed sumi. then matsunosuke got popular and the black was big and dominating. Now I notice the trend is swinging back towards "less is more".
But irregardless of the current "sty;e", allowing the sumi to develop with the koi and not rushed will allow the koi to be the best it can be.
