Showa - What Do You Think!

I found this and am very interested in opinions. Please be brutal - if necessary.

It is way too hard to see with that picture. Conformation looks thin..especially the back half. Cant really see the color quality well. Got a better shot???

It is the only picture I have. I tried to clean it up, but could not do any better.

Do the best you can.

Hope this helps...



It's long and narrow now, but may buff up nice with a good summer. If the sumi rises where I think I see it will, it'll be rather striking. Interesting motoguro with the beni-lined sumi. Bummer we don't have a clearer pic...

ok...I fully expect there to be an after picture that will blow our minds!! As far as this picture...I dont like the hi on the pecs. The conformation is thin in the back half. It is definitely a kindai...not a great kohaku pattern. But..like I said..I'm sure the sumi fills it in to make an amazing after picture.

Can only see the pattern. Don't like it.
