It’s a year since my Tosai 2010 project started, I spent the afternoon pulling out the crew from the growing on tank for a measure up.
The Momataro Showa came in at 12-15cm, 30 in the box we picked up from Heathrow. They are now 55 to 61cm, nothing great quality wise but great fun. The third fish in the pics is going to be a true monster.
The Matsue Kohaku were a tad larger 15-20cm, here’s a quick clip; tosaidave on Vimeo
I’ve moved a few of them into the main pond but 3 Mutts remain here in the growing on, Jury’s out on the 5 step, skinny frame - but he just keeps getting longer.

Sumi.... this is my impression.... and no basis other than my own thoughts, when initial sumi 'seems' to fade into the hi my thinking is that is good... am I wrong in thinking that the hi is strengthining 'burying' the sumi... my thoughts are the sumi will then come through later as it strengthens itself... we know that hi is 'wjhat you see is what you get' at best - and my thoughts are slower developing sumi that comes through is coming from deeper and has a chance to be that much stronger stable and better quality... am I thinking wrong? Have in my head soemwhere that someone told me or I read long time ago slower developing sumi is more likely to be better quality...? My total fascination with showa continues
