Yesterday I went to a mudpond harvest that held a few customers koi. This showa was bought as a Tosai (1 season old) and at that time it was approximately 7" now after a summer in a mud pond it is about 19". Not bad growth rates when you think about it. There were about 15 other koi in a 1/3 acre pond. They were fed daily as well as all they could eat from the natural food supply in the pond. To see other koi like this that are for sale please go to http://www.usakoi.com/
This is a shrine down the street from Marusho Koi farm in Yomagihira. There are shrines like this one everywhere here. They provide a little something interesting to look at besides koi.
