Hi...,

Good body! Still need more sumi to come out and I can see the grey shadow along the body. When they consolidates I think you will get a good pattern.

Finally I can bowl mine, also from Dainichi..., about 25CM tosai.
I really hope it's a female, what do you think?

Nice Showa, my favourite Dainichi Show. Great placement of sumi, the beni is slightly heavy on the right shoulder and head, a spot of beni laced on the left shoulder but once the sumi on the left shoulder emerges, it will cover and balance up. A good grow rate, and interesting to see how it will develop when it reaches the full development stage especially how the sumi should cover up some of the weakness beni (breaking beni - personal preference) on the head.
