Marushin nisai Kohaku, 45cm male, straight out of this fall’s ikeage. The pattern runs in steps: a solid head Hi that stops short of the nose, a broad shoulder plate, then two smaller steps back toward the tail with clean white between each. The Hi is thick and even, and the white ground is bright. Kohaku is still the King of Nishikigoi, and a balanced stepped pattern like this is the classic look. A solid young male with plenty of growing ahead.
