Hirasawa (Saitaro) breeds a few ChaUtsuri.
Last year he had one for sale, heading up towards a metre, it was priced a 1,000,000 yen.

Thanks for the pciture post. I think consumers in general are always looking for something new or different. they grow tired of seeing the same "eye candy" in everyone's ponds.

I think from a breeders standpoint, it would take time to learn what to keep and what to get rid of in the beginnings. so the few that turn out you'd have to pay dearly for. Even when you get the methods and selection down you don't want to flood the market but rather keep the rarity factor and therefor the price remains up.

from a consumers standpoint one wouldn't really know how stable this would be
from a rearing standpoint. Will the black continue to come in? Will it grow out?
From an ardent show person do you take something like this and throw it into the toughest class there is kawarimono. i wouldn't want the job of judging that class as it's not apples to apples.

when you stand back and look at all the progress color variations have made over the last 200 years, it's a pretty big accomplishment by a select group
of families dedicated TOTALLY to their industry.
