There is interesting Sumi on a Showa posted by Mojo in another thread. I've borrowed it, since it seems to be showing maruzome sumi, the transient kind perhaps. Notice that there a couple of scales with a gray edge, but more obvious/wider than on Richard's Sanke. On the Showa it appears to be simply the Sumi being in the process of consolidating. On the Sanke the gray edging is very regular and consistent. Not the same thing, I don't think. But, interesting comparison of scales.
