I was not patronized at all, and if i was it would only make me a bad koi student.
All Sensei can call me Lil'dude-Kun.
Kun is used for ones status is lower than theirs. Teachers use kun to adress that you are a student.
I can understand why kohaku begins in the koi "Passion", the kohaku introduces 2 colors in the gosanke family, Shiro or Haku ( however you want to say it, and Hi or Beni ( How ever you want to say it). Then I would think sanke would be next, introducing the Sumi, then utsuri which emphasizes on the patter in which showa is made from. Since it looks like the showa is an utsuri and a Kohaku mized. Then I would think would be bekko.
I dont really know what I am talking about but, I guess this guessing is making me understand where I need to start..
Man I want to work for a koi business in the future.
but where???? I could learn a whole lot at so many places.
but i think I am getting way over my head just planning everything out right now.
So I should start with the kohaku. You all reccomend books that are really expensive.....

.
How can I learn when I dont have any money...
I guess here, but thats ok. I think interacting with a person is far better than any book..somewhat.
In exchange for the teaching of koi, I would be habby to teach anyone who desires to learn Japanese, afterall japanese is a very important skill in the koi and business world.
I am so happy and thankful that all of you are smuthering me with help and knowledge. I can never say how grateful I am that you are helping me.
I dont understand a lot of what you all see in me, but all I know is that somehow I have this feeling that my life is about koi and I have already dedicated my life to it. Just to think it all started with a simple decision...christmas."dad I want to have a koi pond for christmas"
Wow I never Imagined that..that one litte request could change my life entirely.
I would have never met kari, dick, bob, carolina girl, stephen and so much more....
Thank you so much!!!!!
