Congratulations to Our Grand Champion Texas!

KOI Name: Texas
KOI ID: 9424
Variety: Kohaku

"Texas is a four step Kohaku that gets her name from the first step on her head and shoulder. She is five years old and I have had her in my pond for three years. She is a big girl but moves through the pond gracefully. She has deep beni and snow white shiroji. I am so lucky to have her in my pond."

Grand Champion Prize

The Grand Champion Koi owner wins this Akita Cedar Table Lamp valued at $790 on Kodama Koi Supply! 

Made by a Japanese craftsman from aromatic Akita cedar, this table lamp has delicate openwork design that follows the wood's natural grain to show intricate koi designs; and the acrylic panels softens the light with Japanese kanji saying, "Swimming jewel koi".
