As you can imagine... the last few days have been very busy. I visited Takigawa-san after the Momotaro Auction, after which, I drove to Matsue, which made for a very interesting, and beautiful drive! As you can, there was over 1 metre of snow!
I am now in Tokyo at the All Japan Koi Show, where I have judged this year. I was assigned to the 70Bu size team, which I think is probably about the most interesting, as there are many reasonably large Koi, yet they are still young, so still very beautiful. In addition to judging this size, I also had the pleasure of judging all of the Champion Koi, which are all stunning! The GC this year, is an incredibly beautiful Sakai Kohaku, owned by Kris Kasemsarn from Thailand.
This afternoon, I head down to Okayama, and then will travel around Hiroshima, and Kyushu areas.
