After the 28th, we went to the Momotaro koi farm to preview the koi that were to be auctioned the following day.
At the auction, I managed to find one very nice Kohaku of 56cm. Sadly though, this was all. On the evening after the auction, I collected another hobbyist from Okayama station, and we headed off to Matsue to meet Iitsuka-San (the boss) for dinner at about 8.30pm.
On the following morning, we viewed a number of koi of various ages, as contemplated purchases.
Yesterday morning, we dropped in at Takigawa Koi Farm, and bowled some lovely specimens!
We then arrived at Omosako Koi Farm at around 2pm, and viewed some Nisai and sansai. A beautiful sansai was purchased, simply stunning! I will get a photo of her later...
Last night, we dined out with Omosako. There are three of us here now, consisting of myself, and two hobbyists. One of those, is Nigel, who won the trip with us at the South East 'All England Koi Show'. I think Nigel is somewhat mesmerized by what he has seen so far!...
As I sit typing this, we are about to hit the road, and head to Ueno. It will be a long day...
