I too am trying to understand the hidden Beni.

Went out and looked at my Showa for a long time.

Only two spots I could see are below.

Is that an example of it?

Can you supply a better pic for an example?

I am kinda dense need visuals.

Lester,

Yes, on the first photo, the second hi step is likely to complete itself. There is sumi on the dorsal, so this whole area will change a lot in the future, with hi and sumi competing for real estate.

Of course nature will have the last word on this, we can only guess :-)

bekko,

You cannot judge hi quality from what you see under the skin, that you do from areas where the hi is already up. Hi quality mostly comes from genetics, underlying hi is likely to come up just as the hi that is already up. One can include underlying hi to imagine what the finished pattern could be.

In my experience, sumi on pecs shrinks and thickens. There will be no motoguro if there is no sumi at all to start with.

As always, nature will have the last word, we can only guess, but good husbandry improves the odds.
