It's got a nice face.....

























Actually it looks rather good, but what's really important, is how it looks to you.

Chaos,I presumed it was Kikusui because.Note:
Kodama states in kokugyo I: "By definition a kikusui is: 1. The doitsu version of a hariwake. 2. The designed pattern must be red. (A yamabuki patterned koi is categorized as doitsu hariwake)"
