| KFG,
I could probably write a book for you in details of what to look for but then you'd miss the fun of learning and putting the pieces together for yourself.
I do want you to give serious consideration to the article on hosokai in the latest KB. Hosokai has come a long way in many varieties to be accepted as a serious breeder of many kawari and gosake. His son has studies with him the entire time. in the article it talks about what his son does in the selection process and which tosai he selects and why. there is a reason why he has come to this decision. worthy of your contemplating it. Also many of the questions you want to learn are answered by Ozawa-san in his articles on reading tosai
in KB of course! |
