Sadly, I had no Internet connection on the hotel, but have managed to get pics onto my phone to upload. The koi pictured is from Takigawa Koi Farm, being female, nisai, and 50cm. The koi is not so big right now, as she was grown from small Tosai in a small mudpond as one of a hundred koi. Despite this she grew very well in the early part of the season, but the pond was then overstocked. As such, I think that a koi with this kind of quality and body type will grow extremely well.



I am now at Matsue, and contemplating some more koi...
