About koimasters

Picture
Based near Barnsley, Yorkshire, Chris Masters has devoted his life to koi.

Having travelled to Japan for years now, he has built a very special relationship with Ogata san from the Ogata Koi farm, Kurume City, Fukuoka Pref., Japan.

As such, he is confident of the quality of the koi he can provide, at a price few can match.

In addition, his knowledge of the Ogata bloodlines enables him to provide unrivalled advice on the koi he supplies.

Visit Chris to see the koi  for sale.  Chris welcomes visitors and he is always willing to share his wealth of knowledge.

Chris also breeds his koi each year, having bought very high quality koi from Japan which he uses as his Oyagoi (parent koi). Fry from these spawnings are grown by Chris, helped by very specific dietary and water conditions that he has decided on over years of consideration. Some of the fry are also made available for others to take and learn from, through the experience of growing them.

Give him a call on 01226 390693 to arrange a visit.

judging in japan

Picture
In November 2014 Chris went to Japan once again to personally select koi from the harvests, as well as to help out at the Suetsugu koi farm.

Whilst he was there, Chris had the honour of being invited to judge at two koi shows. The first event was a local show, called KITAKYUSHU and it had maybe 400 to 500 koi entered.

The second show was called the FUKUOKA young koi show. This is put on by the breeders for showing their small (up to 60 cm) koi, and judging is by invitation only. Hobbyists can show their koi, but only through the breeder of the koi.

Chris donated his judging fees to the Fukushima Disaster fund.

Chris has since been invited back and judged again in 2015, 2016, and 2017...
