| JR's thoughts (from another parish) . . .
"The matsukawabaki is a ‘variable’ black and white member of this family. And the change in pattern can occur throughout the seasons and through out its life.
Today the Kumonryu is a doitsu only version of these fish but really a kumonryu should be a cross originally coming from shusui and matsukawabaki and it should carry sumi along the sides and the rest of the fish should be white. So things have gotten sloppy as any doitsu/ black and white fish from the entire Kara group is often called and entered in shows as kumonryu. No heart burn I guess since they all compete against one another anyway. "
