Japan 10/24/08

Brenda and I visited a monkey park in Yudanaka. There were monkeys everywhere.

That's it one day off back to koi.

I watched Yasuaki Kaneko his father and sister harvest some good grade Nisai.

Fujio Oomo 10/10/08

Fujio Oomo harvesting some Doitsu Kohaku, Sanke and Showa. Out of 120 koi 4 were kept as Tategoi and 8 had lost their color or had some type of damage or deformity. The rest of the koi were graded and put in tanks for sale.

Marusho Tanaka, Yasuaki Kaneko and Kobiashi all helping in the harvest.

Here are a few koi I picked up at Otsuka. Over the next 2 weeks there will be plenty of koi to choose from.

I have been in Japan for a few days now and I'm seeing some fish but not a lot yet. I was at Hiroi picking out some Goshiki, Doitsu Kohaku and others and I saw one of my favorite cats having a nap.
