Different ERA's in Nishikigoi....

No doubt these are the cream of the crop GC's with many more in the past and to follow.

But this is like comparing Tiger Woods to Jack Nicklaus and both are arguable since one was playing with wood clubs and the other with space age titanium. ( Tiger For me LOL)

But seeing pics of Mulitiple Past Grand Champions lined up on a wall there is something about the showa that keeps popping in and has me looking at it. The Kohak no doubt has the body but like an earlier post the showa back then was considered big body at 85cm.

Something about why this showa keeps popping up once again as a historical showa and is one of only a few that have won the All Japan. A Mystique about the showa that keeps us drooling and talking about it an no doubt will be talked about for years to come.

Would the super mask Kohak have been remembered like the showa for its fine qualities like the showa with very little known of its history or will the Kohak be remembered more for its owners????
