 Hi Brother Keemer
If only we can paint our gosanke according to our own choice of pattern and tone of beni , it would be much cheaper , than paying
10 times the value for this Sanke , compared to her peers .
Sumo sumi or what we define as sumi outside the beni , is a plus point during judging , but it does not score as much point as those awarded for " Body " . This Sanke you posted certainly have the sumi all or mostly at the right place and it's quite evenly spreaded from shoulder to tail , even though the sumi is not really complete or finished . Believe this is sansai probably and given this , she is yet to finish her sumi , which might increase in size or becomes bigger patches before the sumi mature and thicken. Nice bodyline .
In the Momotaro Sanke auction held today , there were quite a handful of the Sankes that carry the sumi placement well , just like the one you posted . They were not cheap this round , with Sanke No : 1 going above 3.0 million Yen ... .
There is always a price to pay when it comes to sumi placement ... some nisais can call for as high as 2 to 3.0 million Yen easily ..
Sumi normally skin deep . In the case of this Sanke , cosmetic surgery not required , even if there's some more spot sumi that emerge later on .
Brother , dun think this fish is really expensive though , as the beni pattern is that of a traditional Sanke , just like the Jumbo Showa that was posted , likely to be from Isa FF if I'm not wrong . Isa FF produce lots of traditional Jumbo Showa , though the preference now is on Kindai Showa which we hardly see one as big as those traditional Showa from Isa .
I did sent in one 80 bu Sanke during the Airinkai Show last week and she came in 1st for 80 bu Sanke as well , but lost out to
another Kohaku for Rinho prize .
 This is D Sanke II , 5 year old, kept in Sakai FF for the time being .
Cheers Brother Keemer , Keep in touch .

.. My question is, has the breeders perfected their breeding/selection skills to be able to produce such uniqueness in this sanke, that the sumi emerges only in the white area and almost never touching the beni? Or is this just another work of "cosmetic" enhancement?...
