Ojiya/Isawa Bound PSKoi -Fall Edition 2007

Our first stop is always to see Torazo. We check in to see what is going on and most importantly, he always fills us in on whether or not we have to worry about any of the breeders we deal with. He always give us "health" updates and makes recommendations on what to avoid if anything.
Of course we always enjoy going through his Koi. Here are some pictures from today.

A few more from Torazo.

Here are the guys with Kari. Take a look at the smile on her face. That is not because she is posing with Erwin and Ed, it is because she is thrilled to finally be back in Japan.

This year the road conditions were really bad going up to Mr. Sakai's number 1 and number 2 mud ponds so we were all asked to meet at the Mushigame greenhouse. When we got there Sharon and the gang were already knee deep into it. The first picture shows some of Sharon's subtle enthusiasm and the second picture speeks for itself. It is the master thinking "what have I gotten myself into?" LOL

Here are a few pictures of some of the Koi. I hope you will enjoy.

Ask Ed what happens when you see so many great Koi. Here is Ed, sitting stunned.

Nathan's showa spent the summer in Mr. Sakai's #1 pond. It has put on some size and girth.
