I have two invitations to go to japan this fall but it's still up in the air. The

weather/earthquakes etc does not bother me just a matter of determining what I need.

My #1 nisai asagi from Quality Koi goes out in the grow ponds the end of next month. If I get

a tosai from Arthur, it will also go out this spring. if they turn out I have all the asagi I can keep properly.

if Toshio sakai can't find me a hi Shusui, I might be tempted to go look for one.
His shipment this spring isn't scheduled till mid next month.

trying to be intelligent and rational about an emotional subject is a difficult
challenge. i know of nothing in my life that makes me feel alive then to be in the mountains of niigata in the fall at harvest time. the koi in Oregon would come out in september. in new Jersey, in november. gee that leaves October doesn't it?
