The Maple Crown Koi Journal — Keeping, Judging & Importing Koi

Notes from the pond — articles on koi varieties, judging criteria, seasonal care, and our trips to Japanese breeders.

Our journal covers what we learn working with Japanese breeders and Ontario pond owners year-round — how to read a young Kohaku, what makes sumi finish, how to prep a pond for an Ontario winter, and what to look for at the All Japan Koi Show. New posts every season.
