I finally found the opportunity to update the TOMiGAi Blog!! 🙂
This year Devin was honored with an invitation to judge the All-Japan Young Koi Show (also known as the Wakagoi show) and I am incredibly proud of him.
By now, many of you may have already seen the Grand Champion Koi. If not, check out this video by clicking HERE.
During judging, it came down to either the Grand Champion Kohaku and a Dainichi Showa, who eventually won the Mature Champion award. For the Wakagoi Show, the Mature Champion award is the equivalent of “Reserve Grand Champion” in America.
Below is a list of the major award winners and the Kokugyo Award winners for the 2016 Wakagoi Koi Show. Photos by Devin Swanson (air line pinched by Mikki Swanson)
