Good eye, I believe that Kohaku won 1st place in the 75bu category!

Well, I would love to have the showa in 256... That is my best.

Seems like 195, 311, 389 and some other have the same Kohaku. It is my second best.

You are right, many of the koi entered in the show were being held in one of the large tanks at Sentul until the show tanks were ready. It was very hard to get good shots of the show koi in the tanks due to the nets coving them. The only chance I had to get some good ones was when I was following the photographer from Rinko Magazine.

I also like the night shot pics you have from 434 - 445. That pond has many high quality koi as well. These pix are belong to "Kepong Koi". What is Kepong Koi?

[Kohaku]

I like the giant orenji ogon, giant kin matsuba, giant asagi, and giant pale chagoi. Even have a nice ochiba!

Kepong Koi is the authorized Momotaro dealer in Malaysia, he has many very high quality koi.

thank you so much for sharing your pix -- the mud pull, the koi center, the show and lectures, the breeders, the dealers and the private ponds. A beautiful tour, lots of lovely koi and some very gracious people. You're one lucky guy!

On a lighter note, I loved the sequence with you and that humongous Japanese koi net. Were they all laughing at you, or what??? Don
