How to choose a great Tosai Koi

• Balanced pattern and crisp edges (kiwa, edge finish) with even layering (sashi, undercoat).
• Strong body conformation with steady, consistent growth potential.
• Lustrous skin and clean white base; black should feel placed, not muddy.
• For metallic or Doitsu lines, look for even sheen and tidy scalation.
