Not true. You can find nice Showa for say $300-$350. I found this 15 inch, female Omosako showa in that price range. I need a new picture of the fish as the sumi has cleaned up quite nicely and the body has filled out- maybe a bit too much. This fish has since won a tategoi award at a ZNA show.
I don't get too hung up on a thin body because I know what the breeder and a dealer put a fish through. Not long ago I bought a fish. She had a nice plump body. When the fish arrived, the body was considerably thinner. Within a month after placing the fish in quarantine, she has filled back out to her photographed shape.
