These mountains are home to a very special fish. A place full of undiscovered treasures. For many of us a place full of mystery and darkness. One of those well kept secrets is the Japanese Nishikigoi (Koi fish).
There are only limited groups of people who knows about these swimming art pieces. This specific fish is not only a important part of the Japanese Culture but also for many that starts in the mountains of the Yamakoshi area in western Japan.
For generations Koi breeders work towards that one moment a year, a stunning spectacle where people from all over the world come together to be part of this event. This is where standards of the Japanese Culture comes to life. The honor and prestige associate with this fish goes further than most ever imagined.
In Part 2 of this series we dive even deeper in to the origin of this mysterious fish. We follow breeders and hobbyists who pursue a dream to achieve the highest goal. This is Inside the secret world of koi.
It is late October.
Most of the Japanese Koi Breeders are busy with the latest preparations before winter arrives in this part of Japan.
They are working hard to harvest all their latest Koi fish from the Mud Ponds in the mountains. During the cold winter months all the fish needs to be inside. Outside these fish have zero chance to survive.
This area is known for the meters of snow it receives every winter from the far North. From the Arctic Ocean and via Russia, cold air collided with the western sea of Japan. And as strange as it may sound, these Koi breeders depend on these large amounts of snow. The snow is an essential part of growing these swimming jewels.
but before the winter arrives, the breeders prepare for a period in which many things are different than in the fall. Tosai!
