I brought this out to light because I get that question all the time with hobbyist when they see me at the Koi Shop(s)...I know Maruyama has 2 different tones of beni. I was at Genki many years ago and he had brought in a shipment from Maruyama and explained that there were 2 different types of beni. The Kagura Red stood out when the Persimmon or deep orange didnt. Kevin explained that the Persimmon in time aka Sensuke would thicken and give a softer apperance to the fish. With the Kagura would tone down abit through time but still maintain that Red red apperance. To me I can live with both given that I can maintain the shiroji to a high enough level to where it is pleasing to the eye.
But to me alot of hobbyist are swaying more for that red beni. To each is his own I guess. But the folklore has always, been the Japanese perferred the persimmon...unless it is Dainichi...hahahahaha
