Well, after 10 days of chaos, driving and selecting Koi every day, John has left this morning, and now the even harder work begins! I'm off to Matsue this morning, in search of the highest level Tosai. I'm both excited, and nervous, as I never know what to expect until I have gone through the various growing ponds. But, I am very hopeful!...

From today, the blog should have something have good reason to be blogged. Fingers crossed...
