| They do exist , Mike. As you point out, big ginrin are rare. But I've seen some killers over in Japan.
Ginrin is really a trait for tosai to sansai agie groups. As time passes and the skin develops, the gin effect is naturally lost on gosanke because that type of skin 'swallows up' the scale in it's thick translucent billowy depths.
This is why, generally speaking, ginrin is not considered a high class trait and most often associated with baby champions and young champions.
But a really good jumbo ginrin turns the norm on it's head as now you are talking about the element of rarity. JR |
