JNorth,
Hey, do you like Shiro Utsuri or something?
This one is really nice... WOW... what great deep sumi and nice balance. As Mike M said, it has a great face/head. I like it a lot. I also like the black eye highlighting the white side of the face. Very sharp. Do you know if it is a male or female yet?
I hope you do not mind me posting a photo of my fish on your thread. Besides my two Omosako shiro utsuri, I have one other shiro utsuri that I purchased several months ago. It was nisai, and about 16 inches in the bowl photo taken around January. It was bred by Kaneko, and selected by Gene Winstead when he went to Japan. The koi is now living the good life in Koi Village's #1 mud pond, shown in the second photo (bottom koi). I hope to see her in person in October. I also hope to finish my main pond by then so I can give all these koi a home.
- Wayne, hopes the mud pond water and lots of natural food builds this shiro to be all that it can be.
