mr Tran, since you are new on this forum, i'm not sure what should i tell you, most of member on this forum are very picky ( they mostly are profesionals, make a living by looking at koi ) on choosing koi, particular showa. so if i tell you something that you don't like to hear, please do not get upset. Put your hand on one half of the koi picture, cover the head and the shoulder: what you see is a decent showa with 3 color distribution, even with messy black on left and right. now move your hand to cover the other half, what you see is a pocket white and just 2 color blk and red on the head and mouth. Koi look good because of the contrast between colors, red against white, black against white, black and red do not have a lot of contrast therefore avoid the black on the red as much as posible. Now take all you hand off, the koi look unbalance from tail to head. So as i said, and if you don't mind, you have a below average showa, hard to say it's tategoi. However, showa are very hard to find, a decent showa still look as good as a good kohaku. not even mention $. please accept my apology if anything i said offends you. i attach to you a decent showa so you can see and analyze what i just tell you.
look at my new showa =)
