The Auctioneer in this picture is Taro from Oya Koi farm , i will be meeting with taro in a few days and is one of the best breeders in Niigata for Asagi.  The Auctioned continued throughout the day with a break for lunch , the koi  ranged from mixed bowls of Tosai to large 70cm plus gosanke. Many Female Jumbo Tosai were classed as special by Dainichi. No harm trying for a couple of these but ended unfortunately missed out.

The two Koi I was bidding for , the rest of the afternoon was spent sitting on my hands as i couldnt trust myself not to bid on a few more. With a visit to Dainichi in a few days I managed to get through the rest of the afternoon budget still intact.

Two breeders you may recognise , if not you will see them again later !!
