| For me, the face of a koi is very important. Shiro utsuri will always outshine other black & white koi in my estimation because of the sumi creating so much expressiveness. Argued with JR months ago about accepted standards for bald Bekkos having ruined that variety. And kumonryu/matsukawabake change so much one never gets to know them before they go schizoid. But shiro utsuri is not only expressive in their patterns, but over time as the sumi emerges they keep telling just a little more about themselves, so their owner never gets too bored.
I think this one has already seduced you, and she still has a long story to tell. |
