I just bought this girl. She was born in 2017 and is 13 inches.. However she was rated at less than half the market value of the other showa in her pond. The guy helping me said its her pattern and size. Her size was a little thin for a female but her length was about the same as the others.
I happen to like the pattern so i happily swooped her up for hundreds less than some of the others. I need some help on figuring out what is wrong with the pattern. I always thought that you look for a kohaku pattern mixed with equal shiro and sumi. She seems to have some separation of color (some mixing of color) . Some of the other showas had a strong muddy mixture of sumi on top of the hi.. I didn't think a blending of color was as good as separation yet they were worth more. Their sumi was stronger though. The only real flaw i see is those sumi spots by her head, that are on top of the shiro..
Thoughts?
