Ray pretty much covered it- Shinkokai is a promotional associate and also a trade union of sorts. They have a representative to the Japanese government agencies, a shipping station/office for members to use for export, a combine for food/pellet production etc. When you get up to Niigata it is hard to separate the koi farmers in general from the Shinkokai organization itself.
