Apologies for the delay, I've finally managed to sort through all the pictures and details of the winning koi from the 45th ZNA All Japan Show 2009

The final day of the 45th ZNA All Japan Show 2009 and for me it was extremely hectic.  I had checked through my pictures last night and still had a few fish I needed to get better pictures of.

Well today was one of the highlights of the trip, the start of the 45th ZNA All Japan Show 2009, probably the second most important Nishikigoi show in the world.

After returning from the Izumo tour it was time to watch benching and as we arrived back at the showground Takigawa san's koi were just being unloaded, along with many others, giving us plenty to watch. 

Today was a fabulous time, and really unique experience, courtesy of Takigawa san, president of the Zen Nippon Airinkai
