Arrived yesterday evening in Kurume.Went through to Ogata Koi Farm this morning.There were a lot of European customers here today-mainly Germans-with a lot of the Asians/Japanese dealers arriving tomorrow for the Auction.
They were mainly selecting through the sansai today,but Manabu Ogata allowed me to select 10 pieces from his bigger nisai pond after the customers had left.I was happy with the quality/size/price and it was nice to be able to go through and ensure the koi were female.
At the same time I had a look at the Auction koi which were all together in one pond.
