Good to know it win a price. Does anyone know the reason why it lose out? It is because it is a male koi and lost out in term of size? |
there were only 2 showa in size 30, both entered by Nippon on behalf of their customers, and both local bred. U can see the pics on their website.
In my opinion, the winning showa has deeper Hi and a nice white patch at the shoulder that stood out, while i find this showa got better sumi pattern & darker sumi.
If there were more entries, it wld be better competition and wld give more creditability to the prizes won.
