in any manufacturing process, a name brand gets instant recognition. But if your a ford truck fan and you get a lemon, you might not be such a big fan anymore.

I believe Omosako breeds beautiful Shiros. But there are other people who do as well but have not received the recognition yet.

Look at how Maeda - san has used other famous breeder's bloodlines to create his own. I would think he could do the same with shiros!

The nicest shiro i ever saw was a first place for it's size in the all japan show and was purchased by my koi kichi friend from Sakai of isawa. he doesn't have a reputation for shiro's but what a magnicent koi!

Shiro's like showas take time to develop. Don't be in a hurry...BTW the nicest i ever owned was bred by sakai of hiroshima and was my only koi that ever took three prizes in one show!
