| MikeS, I saw a Momotaro nisai showa (ref 197) with a very nice hi .... the only potential problem with the hi plate is the stress point (circled). As the body grows there would be some fading of hi at the stress point. That is how kohaku get cull.
Your comment for that fish was: " ...... It has a wonderful Hi plate, which can often be a problem with Showa".
Did you mean the same potential problem as mentioned or something else entirely? If that is the case, then could you explain further? Donald |
