Received news today that Van Keulen - http://www.koicentrum.nl - picked up a bumber haul of prizes at this weekend's Interkoi 2010 Show in Germany with Niigata produced Koi.
Amongst their prizes were:
Doitsu b size 2, Kikokuryu bred by Aoki, 1st prize + best in variety
Koromo/Goshiki size 2, Goshiki bred by Aoki, 1st prize + best in variety
Hikarimoyo(mono) size 3, Kujaku bred Masaki, 2nd prize
Koromo/Goshiki size 3, Ai Goromo bred by Sakasume, 2nd prize
Kinginrin b size 4, Ginrin Goshiki bred by Conias (Hiroi), 1st prize + best in variety

Asagi/Shusui size 7, Asagi bred by Masaki, 2nd prize
I understand that over 680 Koi were entered in the show. To put that in perspective, in terms of entrant numbers, that puts it on a par with the Niigata Nogyosai, generally regarded as one of the top 4 Koi shows in the world after the All Japan's and the Wakagoi.
Below a picture of Jeroen Van Keulen with his trophy haul.
Pictures of some of the winning Koi to follow I hope.
