Ok, I'll quit. Your right, I have been after both to sembetsu their collection. Just burning off a little exuberance over the coming seminar.
I'd love to take care of some of your purchases but as you know i have even less room than you do

Miss piggy was right "more is not enough"....

Little know fact, Toshio-san let one of the special ones out of Japan a couple of years ago, with that really inky black. Take a gander at this one, do you recognize her Dick? Maybe we will show her someday or maybe just keep her in our private unseen collection.

[dick benbow]

yes Dan, I recognize my favorite koi in your collection. The first time I caught site of "wild thing" I just about flipped. Since this picture was taken the incredible black has continued to dominate. It has the old style matsunosuke Gin and the red defyes discription. I've seen some really beautiful koi in my lifetime but nothing that has caught my fancy as much in gosanke. I quess that's why they call Sakai-san " the Challenger".....
