Hello again to all

Yes MikeM the age by scale is at best an indication.



We used when I was at school (some time ago) as “stone” (don’t recall its name but its located inside the head of fish) as a counter, it was supposed to be more accurate. As for scales it will give an indication and if we trust that it is not a deliberate hoax it could be used as an indicator. If we take it harsh and give it an average of three each year Kanako was still over 70 years old. Then there is the mentioned parents and grandparents with an low set cycle of say 40 years this gives us approximately 120 years.

So by reading the transcript of something I have not found any reason to believe is anything but a public document I get 70 – 120 years. For me it’s still a very old Nishikigoi.



As mentioned I have it as an word document and will mail it to any that are interested and it’s quit a nice tail. Especially when you have the years past its interesting to se how they then had hopes for the future (meaning around the time I entered the world).
