Umhlanga National Kol Show 2013

摘要

SAKKS - the South African Koi Keepers Society -joined ZNA in 1991, and at the moment the oldest one of the existing ZNA chapters in the Europe-Africa area. It has seven chapters in the big country: Eastern Cape, Free State, Gauteng, Kouga, KwaZulu-Natal, Southern Cape and Western Cape. In the founding period of the ZNA South African Chapter, senior judges Masao Kato and Hiroshi Masuda repeatedly visited their national koi show in Johannesburg. Actually Kato-san and Masuda-san would talk over the telephone about what they did or what they saw in Johannesburg and Cape Town, or in the game reserves in South Africa. They established the koi friendship today between SAKKS and ZNA. Also, they recommended me to visit there some day. I somehow thought thatI would have a chance to be there some day. Finally this summer, late winter in the Southern Hemisphere, my "some day" chance came around.
