Big in Japan
Posted 31 Jul 2009 - 21:26 by Mark Gardner
I keep a fairly regular check on visitor stats to Niigata-Nishikigoi.com. The stats package I use gives me a map showing where visitors are coming from. There is a good spread with concentrations in the UK, Holland, Belgium, Asia and the US, along with smaller numbers from other parts of Europe, Australia, South Africa and South America. Usually the map of the last 250 visitors includes around 6 pins across Japan, depending what time of day I look.
I looked around midday today and I was gobsmacked, what had happened?!?
A little digging revealed that Shigeyoshi had posted a link on his blog to this site yesterday evening, along with a picture of your's truly.
The blog Shigeyoshi posts to actually has several breeders posting, it's in Japanese of course but you may like to visit - http://www.koipark.net/blog/ - Google translates it pretty well, at least enough to understand.
