I have just finished resizing pics of the Matsue Tosai. These are the best ones, and the first two are very expensive, but superb!

I will add more photos later on today, including show quality male Tosai, and lower priced females. I'm sorry the photos are so bad... the light was fading when I got around to taking the pics, so they look dreadful in these pics. The fish are superb though!

Well, I arrived in Japan on Monday morning. So far, have been to Takigawa, Matsue, and Omosako. I have managed to buy one really good female Tosai Showa from Takigawa, along with a really nice Goshiki. At Matsue, I have purchased some very good female Jumbo Tosai, and also a small number of really high level Jumbo Tosai. For those that want a Koi from us, but can't afford to buy the kind of Koi we normally sell, I have purchased some fantastic male Jumbo Tosai of really high quality, and great patterns.

Today, I bought three Nisai Shiro Utsuri's from Omosako. Tomorrow should prove interesting...

I'm sorry for the lack of updates on the site and blog, but it has been as much as I can do to try to keep on top of emails. I will try to sort out some free time to get everything together...

The last few weeks have been chaotic, with a lot of changes to our ponds in Bristol. Our 8000 gallon pond's filtration modifications are now complete and ready for what we think will be fantastic performance this Summer. Last Wednesday I left the UK and flew to Indonesia to judge their koi show, and I have to say, it was a fantastic event, with many fantastic fish. I will add more info and pics later when I have Internet access on my laptop...
