 At breakfast in the Grand Hotel we have meet a group from Northern Ireland that have just arrived for their koi hunting party. But the second day with Geoff Kemp was again a very good day. We have started with several breeders but Ikarashi was the real high light for me. You actually don't know which koi is better then the others that are swimming around. Please each koi would be nice in each collection but the asking price would be very high so it is better for not asking. But you could see your koi dream here. Again we have visit Yagenji that was just unloading a harvest and selecting them. We have a nice two year shiro utsuri that we have bought and their was a stunning tancho showa.

 Today we have been koi hunting with Geoff kemp. The first visit was at Yagenji where we found a stunning two year kohaku. After that we have visit Kaneko farm that have now a new entry at the back of the farm. They have build a fantastic new road after the earth quake. It always look so easy to find platinum koi but geoff kemp had to work hard to find some good ones. After that we have done a koi harvest with Makoto Tanaka from Marusho Koi farm together with Fuijio Oomo. I need to say it is hard work if you do this with only two persons in heavy rain. Off course we have watch with pleasure and accept to be fully socked. After that we have seen some stunning koi from Marusho Koi Farm. Then we have looked at a beautiful true tategoi Showa from Fuiji Oomo at the Nijgata Nishikigoi Direct facility. This koi needs to stay at least one year longer in Japan to become a fantastic Koi. The same style Koi have won a major award on the latest Holland Koi show. In the next days I will update the blog with some more images, regards Jasper Kuijper

Day one: Friday 10-17 Shintaro Nisai Harvest. The first pond had only 10 nisai in it. The second had 37 nisai. All had a staggering growth 22" at 16 months. Shintaro was very happy with the growth and quality of his nisai this year. It was a very warm summer this year and that combined with new auto feeders he had larger than usual koi. matt |
