Dear Russell we are sadly aware of the heavy toll nature has taken out on “Toshi” and have been promised by our friend (European cornerstone for Nishikigoi as far as we are concerned) that there should be possibilities for supplies from him again.
Just started thinking about him again after receiving some Dainichi Kohaku’s (just a couple of days ago) He had then been responsible for the whole shipment and not just our box. As Josef said you really need a solid rock to take care of the important things in life.
With this mode on I started to see what I had of written material of this person that year after year had produced, packed (his and others) and made sure that my and many others arrived safely her in Europe to our joy. It was sadly little (in Norwegian).
We have in a small (and I do mean small) way tried bit by bit to get information and state of Nishikigoi mind over to our native language, sadly not all Kichi are happy with English. Hope you will get some Nishikigoi from him the next time around. When times are hard the only real help is possibility for continual relations and hope.
