Koi
“They are messegers of God. Our hearts are stolen by them.”
 The man worked very hard in Yamakoshi where is very famous in Japanese Koi world and he learned the skill from Yamakoshi old Koi farmer.His name is Toshinori Shimizu.He goes to all over Japan and he has a lot of conections. In China it is said that Koi becomes Dragon when Koi goes far up the streem of the river (it is called 「ryumon river」and the streem is very fast ).So Koi is very important in China.The most charming point is that we can see the beautifull style in all seasons.There are a lot of fans who look at them for a long time in their minds.Most people does not know Koi makes their friends very well without a quarrel.We guess it is the reason why the upper class peoples love the Koi.「Kouhaku」「Taishousankei」「shouwasankei」…etc.Traditional colorful Koi swim in the water and the sight Koi over 3 feet swims comfortably is very beautiful.There are some lineages in the Koi world.Mr.shimizu takes care of them carefully and he shows them sometimes in the big Koi contests.It is very important that he takes care of them in the large pond of the mountain too.They have to swim freely without stress in the large pond.The way to take care of Koi is very difficult.Because all of them die by the wrong way occasionally.Koi farmers take care of them using a lot of useful skill,for example how to feed and water quality ….
 It needs a long time that the Koi farmers get the best way to care of them and we can feel the farmer's deep love from them.
