I feel today I have bought enough koi for now - we already have Momotaro and Yohei koi in and Omosako koi due in soon.
I sorted out some boxes of mixed koi with Siato san. His cousin is a breeder of many varieties. It always pays to speak with the breeders and tell them what you are looking for! But, don't ask Shintaro for Sanke, and don't ask Marudo for Kohaku!
Tomorrow I will visit Niigata city for the first time with Claire, she deserves to do a little shopping after helping me on this trip. We took a few presents for the breeders and bar staff, so now have 2 suitcases less than half full. Perfect for souvenirs!
In the future when I take customers to Japan I want to be able to offer a few days sightseeing, so the next week will be my research, as we plan to spend the week in Tokyo. Japan has so much to offer, and after 140+ hours in an aeroplane, I have yet to see more than Narita Airport, Tokyo Station, and Yamakoshi.
I will post some pictures on my blog of our travels, for those interested in Tokyo.
For those that know a little Japanese,
Mata ne
