| Nice head on what looks to be a tosai. Though the fish appears to be a bit narrow and stretchy, it has a good overall balanced shape and frame that will buff out nicely if given half a chance. The scalloped edges of the hi plates gives the fish a flowery look. Interesting very red beni on this one, at least on my monitor. Sumi looks to be coming in a tad differently than what I'd expect of a showa--more sanke-like. Nice shiroji.
Breeder/bloodline/age, Tonio?
