      Please judge my Omosako Shiro Utsuri

      Hi.

      I’ve recently bought a Omosako Shiro Utsuri. Would be good to get some thoughts on it? Also if you think the Sumi has a chance of joining up on the head (nose to back of head)

      Thanks :-)

      Is it a fat girl for sure?

      I see what appears to be underlying Sumi down the center of the forehead to meet up with the nose pattern.

      Lovely rounded pectorals.

      Snow white Shiroji.Just enough Sumi, not be overdone by the modern Shiro Utsuri you see these days.

      Not sure that she will grow really big,judging by the regular thickness peduncle.

      A worthy pond beaut.

      Cheers for the feedback guys. Fingers crossed the head gets a bit more sumi. First Shiro for me
      And hopefully a good one. Time will tell ��

      Omasako, very well known name in the Shiro world.

      The majority you see around are scruffy.

      Dirty heads, with off white bodies.

      I presume you are LEEDS, as in UK?

      Did you buy it off the shelf or collect it?

      The requirements on the sumi on the head is; both color's must be present it meets could it use a little more yes but I like the way it is. The Shiroji looks very good that's what makes a Shiro the head got a hint of yellowish but as the skin thickens it should lighten up, look at the gills both sides are flaring as far as sex my vote is male look at the strong powerful leading rays on the pectoral fins but overall is a nice Shiro.

      Body doesn't seem very strong especially there is a pinch before the tail tube. But she is beautiful for sure.
