FOR SALE - Dainichi Showa

Most koi hobbyist may think that this showa hi patch is not balance because the tail joint has no red patch but I personally think that it is a common misconception/misunderstanding for the showa variety.Showa variety does not have specific requirements for the pattern. Even if the tail joint has no red patch, if the showa has very clean light orange/red patch and high quality sumi throughout the body, a minor flaw of not having red patch at the tail joint becomes INSIGNIFICANT. One thing we must learn is to appreciate the good aspects of a fish instead of just looking at the flaw of the fish. In fact, NO FISH IS PERFECT. If there is one, please let me know. The showa shown above has won showa 50BU in 2006 when it was 2 yrs old and the show was judged by 9 Japanese breeders. Do you still think that this is not a good showa?
