The following Hirasawa Hi Utsuri's are out there hopefully growing well for the Western Cape grow and show competition, to be judged at the 2010 annual koi show.



Who is Hirasawa?




Mr Hirasawa is the owner of Murusei Koi Farm. He started in the mid fifties with breeding and has become nowadays most probably the largest breeder in Niigata, there is no breeder around where stocks seems to last as long. Without any ending, millions of fish are produced by Mr Hirasawa and his family. Almost all varieties are offered in all sizes, but Hirasawa is famous in japan for especially large jumbo fish of all varieties. He is well known for his very large Chagoi, Hi Utsuri and Yamabuki Ogons.

This is a photo of one of Hirasawa's Hi Utsuri's just harvested. At three years already 77 cm. Hope to see this type of growth.



Please post any updates on the development of your Hirasawa Hi Utsuri's here.

Hi Paul

Miskien kan jy vir ons al die deelnemers se name post, een van myne lyk al nes sy baas, dik en ongeskik, Soutie beware! are youre's still allive?

Paul as i was away are there any of those left and will the guys let me join in the grow and show i will donate the money to the cause maybe even a little more, but im sure if there are any left they are the ugly duckling but ill turn it into the swan.

Hi Shawn, I will give you one for free in view of the amount you have spend with us, but it would not be fair towards the others enter the competition. I had to draw a line after a few people requested to still enter.

Thought I’d update you on my hi utsuri so have attached a latest pic of myself and Xander holding her. Great body shape and the red is very prominent. Should be a big fish!



Cheers
