This is what well-bred Showa looks like in its developmental phase. Pattern and colour The Sumi (black) shows a mix of deeper anchor clusters and lighter developing areas. [...] | |
 | Exceptional scale definition This is the standout feature, and it’s worth looking at closely. The scaling across the shoulder and flanks is unusually well defined. Each scale sits distinct against the next, giving the pale areas a beaded, three-dimensional texture rather than a flat finish. On a Goshiki this is what you want. The variety [...] | |
