| Kosui
Dick,
You're right the picture does not do the koi justice. BTW it is now 6 years old.
I see more and more of them in Japan (not that common though). You can find them especially at the nogosai show in Ojiya. I remember seeing a Ginrin Kosui there in 2003. The scales along the dorsal with were so shiny, the white so snow white, and deep beni (I did not dare ask for price). I know I have a photo of it somewhere but cannot find it :-(
I think the Kosui is a cross of Shusui x Kohaku. JR, am I right?
I am a Gosanke type (and Asagi, Dick :-), but would certainly not mind a good quality Kosui in my pond.
Oh! And Tony, my partner, tells everybody who asks what a Kosui is: "Kosui is Shusui without the Blu-ee."
