Koi Description:
My smallest sansai at 45cm, still one of my favorite. Was also smallest tosai I recieved 3 years ago. Maybe 4 inches if lucky and mostly gray. Sumi set in quickly, and developed a tancho type spot that has a sumi spot in it giving a yin yang look, yielding the name Ryu. I love how the story in the sumi frames a tale told in the shiroji as well. The cloud reflections almost seem to be her inspiration. Sometimes I call her Rorschach. Twice seen go pure shiroji to sumi back up again within minuets.
