We at the Camellia Koi Club gave it a friendship award. I also was surprised that it didn't do better in the rankings.

I was very surprised it didnt do better, shot I was already congratulating Sahn for winning Young Champion...I guess we could put it this way if the showa had more sheen, it would have easily beat Nathan's Kohak hands down...
