I'm not sure if it the exchange rate, general economy thoughts, or earthquake/tsunami/radiation fears, but it is very quiet in Niigata. Steve goes home tomorrow, and I am very glad I have Claire with me for company during the day.
Tonight has been one of my favourite nights in Nagaoka. Takahashi san and Saito san (of Shintaro fame) have made the night most enjoyable, when talking about nishikigoi, life in Japan or general conversation.
As far as I am aware, there are no English dealers staying in Nagaoka, and even Mark Gardner has deserted Niigata!
I am about to start to add koi to our website - be sure to check out the Shintaro Go-Sanke and Marudo Kohaku before they are sold!
