It’s important to consider that this Koi is still only 18months old. The improvement in skin quality and pattern development is significant. The quality of sumi on the best Purdin Sanke is especially noteworthy as is demonstrated here. The tsubo sumi on the nearside shoulder is impressive and ideally balanced by the sumi straddling the dorsal. It will be very exciting to follow the development of this Koi over the years.
