Your comment to Mike re: choosing a light Yamabuki is very interesting... I would venture to say that for those of us who do not understand the evolution of a Yamabuki's color, choosing a dark color Tosai would be the norm...
This is just what I did this past Feb... To date the 8" Yama has grown to 18+ inches... The color is still a rich 24 carat gold, but I've often wondered about orange or red showing up, as seen in other large Yamas, at the nisai or sansai stage... My hope is that knowing the breeder and parent stock, it will maintain it's true color... keeping my fingers crossed...
Once again, thanks for your posts... reading them is always a learning experience...
