A local dealer brought it back with him. So I'm not too sure about the history. The two Dainichi Showas I got at Narita both had certificates of birth but I guess on this one I have to take the dealers word? I like the pattern but the beni and body troubles me a bit. BUT I'm not experienced enough to judge this koi so i've asked for the experts opinions. Showas are also a bit different from Sanke and kohaku. My Sakai sanke I got is only 18months and bigger than this showa.

The showa is over $5000 so she is quite expensive by my standards.
