The day after Russ got the koi I rushed out to see him and get something to go in the mud. As soon as I saw this sanke it caught my eye. I have attended both of the Sakai seminars that Russ has provided and as soon as I saw this koi I wanted it. In Mr. Sakai's lectures he always talks about skin quality and luster and how the beni, shiro and sumi should look like wet paint. When I looked at the 100-150 new arivals I instantly noticed the shimmer and vibrant glossy color that Mr. Sakai had always spoke of. This sanke has great skin as well as the conformation to grow large. I just hope that the beni on her face pulls back as she gets bigger. At least I was hoping it was a "her" and quite relived when Russell confirmed it was. Nothing worse than seeing a koi you love to find out it is a male.
The kohaku is my Mothers. This kohaku's shiro is a blinding white on top of that it has great conformation, pattern and when it comes from Toshio Sakai you can trust it will just keep getting better
