The koi made it in. and boy do they look nice. The ki kujaku had a small blood spot on its top fin. it should be fine, i hope. no tear, just a blood spot. any tips? but outside of that they are doing fine. i can not believe what i got for the money i spent. you might have got the short end of the stick.or those that did not bid on them. i truly love how they look. the photos you all had on them did not do them any justice. they ROCK!!!! i can not wait till i take them to a show and see how they do. again thank so much. keep up the great work.

Thank you Lori and Taro for all your diligence and attention to detail.

thanks so much for everything lori that's all i needed it was my fault for not coping it the first time. you guys are great and have my koi business for ever, thanks again.

Taro,
We have now purchased 13 Koi from you, including our last shipment of 3. We have been overwelmed with the quality of the fish, and the great partnership we have with you. We had a pond tour last weekend , and everyone said we had the best fish in our area. So , THANKS !!!!!!!!!!
It really is nice to have such a great place to purchase our Koi from, and we look forward to more purchases. We just got 2 Koi from your Kodamo's choice, and are really pleased with each of them. Our Sanke we purchased last year from you won the friendship award at our Koi meeting with our English club. Elsie left the web address so you could look at it.

Enjoy, and again thanks for all our wonderful Koi.

Dear Laurie, I want to thank you for all the patient help you dedicated to me. I am a first time bidder. The Asagi that I bid on and WON was even more beautiful in person. You guys are really true to your word.

Hi All,
Hope that this note finds you all in good health and spirits. Sandi and I purchased a Beni Kumonryu , Shiro Utsuri , and a Doitsu Taisho Sanke from you back in June. Superb Koi. We were so impressed with the auction site, and the information given that we bought all three not just one or two.
When the Koi arrived, the packaging was excellent, the timing was on time as stated, and the fish were beyond our hopes and expectations. WOW!!! The size and color of the Koi were incredible. Sandi called me at work to let me know not only that they were there, but that I needed to come home for lunch to release them from their bags as the 17" Beni was a bit much for her. She had allot of excitement in her voice, and that told me that I would not be disappointed when I saw the Koi. Again, well beyond my expectations.

Lori, I picked up my koi today at 12:30 and all is well. The koi were quite lively and are now resting happily in quarantine. The Budo Koromo is fantastic! Please keep me informed about the midirigoi, I still am interested in that fish. Thanks for all your help.

Could you please reply to this email and attach the full size JPEG of the two KOI referenced in the subject line? They just arrived and I realized I did not save the photos. I was able to save the thumbnails but would enjoy the full size pix as well. If at all possible, could I also have the BID page as well, I would like the breeder, size and other information for posterity. I appreciate this little extra stuff. The KOI are beautiful!
