Kiwa is the razor sharp edge he talked about,He gave an several examples of. There was the "straight edge" type which crosses scales. The "typical" Kiwa one hears about. "Marusome Kiwa" is the "scalloped" type he showed in which the hi follows the scales, and Sashi is the "blurred" edges. He talked about how you dont want the razor sharp kiwa when the koi is young. Not just on the leading edge, but also the trailing edge. That is different than I have heard sometimes b4.
