This year I will be judging the All Japan Show

This is the 3rd time I have judged the show and it is an honour to be invited to judge again.

There are always many fabulous koi on display at the show and the job of judging is not an easy one.

The show will be held at the Ryutsu centre in Tokyo

Most people stay in the Shinagawa area of Tokyo at the Shinagawa Prince Hotel, and this is a great place for meeting up with people from all over the world in the evenings.

Benching takes place on Thursday followed by Judging on Friday, during which times the show is closed to the general public.

The show then opens to the public on Saturday and Sunday, and closes after the awards ceremony on Sunday afternoon.

Hopefully I will see many of you at the show.
