Congratulations From Japan

On behalf of all the members of Shinkokai, first let me express my sincere congratulations on the 200th issue of Koi Carp magazine.

Needless to say, the UK has been taking the leadership role for many years for promoting Nishikigoi, Japanese heritage. All the breeders in Japan really appreciate the efforts made by thousands of real Nishikigoi lovers and professional dealers in the UK. Without their efforts Nishikigoi could not become such a great hobby in many countries.

Also, we never forget the importance of the right messenger, such as Koi Carp magazine. We do appreciate that your magazine has been playing a very important role over 16 years in Nishikigoi promotion. Thank you very much. Mano-san, Chairman of All Japan Nishikigoi Promotion Association (Shinkokai).

To be continued in the 200th issue of Koi Carp magazine on sale the first week of October 2011.
