WINNER at the ZNA
Southern California Koi Show!
86cm Kohaku (5-step pattern)
Oyama bred
9 year old female
Sold to Duke Nguyen
In a class that is seen only at the All Japan Koi Show in Tokyo, this
34 inch Kohaku has the magnificent quality to be “Grand Champion”.
With her unusual five step hi pattern, deep intense scarlet red color,
snow white shiro and powerful body conformation, this beauty is a
winner! Her youthful appearance is a rarity on koi of this size with
few existing in Japan today, not to mention the US. This valuable gem
was reared in the warm, pristine waters of Southern Japan to compete
in the upcoming 35th/2003 All Japan Koi Show. After much persuasion to
the Umeda family, who owns and operates one of Japan’s largest
Nishikigoi farms, they agreed to sell this stunning animal to eldonkoi.
We are honored to have had this opportunity to import such a beautiful
Kohaku to America.

"The term - ARASHI KUMO - translated simply means "Storm Clouds."
This term describes the distinct pattern of Sumi, Kage Sumi (shadow)
and white which all work together to form the Storm Clouds on this
Tancho Showa's massive body. Rising just above the horizon is a
perfect red-hot Glowing Sun breaking through the dark storm clouds to
dawn the new day.
In my 30 years of importing Nishikigoi from Japan, I have never come
across such an extremely rare and more beautiful Tancho Showa as this
Spotlight Koi. This showa is truly a one-of-a-kind masterpiece from
one of southern Japan's oldest Nishikigoi farms. Owning this
live "JEWEL" is an equivalent to owning a Picasso, Matisse or other
great master's art work. It could be you owning this magnificent
work of art to swim in your gallery"

Subject: your sandan Kohaku won a Young Grand Champion
Date: Sun, 7 Oct 2001 14:42:01 -0400 (EDT)
Hi Mr. Eldon,
Yesterday, I entered your sandan Kohaku at the Water Garden World 2nd
Annual Young Koi show. She won a Young Grand Champion. The judges (one
from California, and the other in Florida) were very pleased with the
fish. They said this is a lovely and perfect distinct 3 step kohaku.
This Kohaku will continue to do a better job in future. A lot of
people interviewed me. They asked me where I bought the fish and the
price also. I told them that I bought from Eldon Koi with a price at
bargain. I also told them that if they want a Grand Champion, Eldon
Koi is the right place to purchase especially with good deal. That is
what I can do to repay for the kindness and helpfulness you gave me.
Khanh.
