| "Standards for koi come from competition, the koi show," Childers wrote.
"Thes are the standards that determined which koi wins. the koi show has its origins in Japan, where they were invented, simple. Get it John? It has nothing to do with the age of a specific club. Koi show competitions existed before the Hawaiian club. and the two are not necessarily related. Try that for literal meanings," Childers wrote.
Back to the quote Steve, "…it is a Japanese hobby to begin with; they invented it, set the rules and standards for it,..." according to Ron. It would seem you discount the fact that Japanese Americans had the first club according to what is gathered here in this thread. Do you likewise discount the possibility that Japanese Americans invented the hobby so far as it is organized in clubs such as AKCA and ZNA? Would you likewise discount the possibility that Japanese Americans "set the rules and standards" for the hobby so far as it is organized in clubs such as AKCA and ZNA?
