Thanks much Dick -

As you know Toshio Sakai was here in September, 2006 for judging Sacramento Koi show and presented 2-hour seminar about Matsunosuke.
I chatted with him during breaktime and remember he mentioned that he has spent more than 20 years to develop the Matsunosuke, having only two hours to present is just enough for the introduction to Matsunosuke.....

With that and many people have requested to have the master back for a completely Matsunosuke seminar. Hoping this will be a great Matsunosuke event that no one want to miss. I hope you can make it again this time for Matsunosuke event too. Many Norcal folks here would love to meet you in person as well.....

Sakai is not just one of my favorite breeders. He is "The Innovator" as Bern named some time back.....

When Toshio put on his first seminar in Philly, when Joe Z opened up quality koi, I flew all the way back there to see Him from Seattle. It was well worth the trip! Since then he has added so much more to his matsunosuke bloodline, like new improved beni and sumi....if anyone wanted to treat them selves to a new educational level you need to seriously plan on making this trip. hats off to ZNA Norcal for making it possible for all to take advantage of this opportunity.
