Tosai Time. Kondo Tosai enjoying some food in the sunshine. Hopefully it won’t be long till the weather warms up and the season kicks off. But as my good koi friend always says…

“Ne'er cast a clout till May is out!”

Stay warm koi lovers! 😊

In the recent Monthly News, I mentioned that Yoshiyuki Takahashi of Ippinya Koi Farm was delighted with his feature in the magazine and was keen to clamber behind his show vat at the AJKS '25 for a triumphant photo!

You can read about my visit to the farm in Volume Six. I had a great time exploring the facility, hearing the history and seeing the beautifully unique koi stocks. Get up to date with the Volume Six here ⬇️

These four koi made our Instagram koi appreciation posts recently, so here’s their joint shout-out!

Three are from the Mid Staffs Koi Keeping Society Show, and one is from AllEngland KoiShow. Our exhibitors once again going out of their way to promote the hobby and hopefully pick up a prize.

🏆 All these koi did nab a trophy, by the way! 🏆

Congratulations to all - they may have even made it to print!📚

Features a great article by Bernie Woollands, BKKS & ZNA Certified Judge, delving into the topic of 'pattern' from a Koi Judge's perspective.

I had to use this stunning goshiki I snapped at the AJKS '24 as the header image because... well because! 🔥 (I've also included some teasers of the spreads).
