In the lower left photo, you can see the women grading goldfish. It was very fun to watch, with just a flick of the wrist, you would see a goldfish plop out of thier net, and wind up in one of the buckets below. In the photo on the right they were repairing a section of the creek.
Fugio picked out the Kujaku for me (left photo). Unfortunately it died as a result of the Earthquakes and never got shipped to the USA. At least we can enjoy it from this photo. I picked out the two Shiro Utsuri (right photo). This was the first facility where I was allowed to net my own koi. I had plenty of experience netting koi in my own pond, however I was a little enthusiast. Mark said to me "thats a net, not a shiscabob". We all had a good laugh.
