I’m not inherently interested in fish, and yet I was ‘glued’ to your documentary… magnificent and humane… and such devotion and hard work to these koi fish.

What a stunning documentary on a tradition that spans over 2 centuries. Fantastic cinematography, soundtrack, and narration. Love your work.

The drone shots of gosanke in the mud ponds are truly special.

Brilliant documentary my friend. The Japanese people are master craftsman at everything they do. There pride in what they do is amazing. Beautiful fish.🙏

It is such a privilege to be given access to the behind the scenes operations at these koi farms! Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us.

I've always wanted to visit japan. You took such care in this documentary that I felt kind of like I had been there. So well made. The japanese people seem so kind, intelligent, and hospitable. And the food!!! I could almost smell it. Please make more videos like this, and thank you! I loved hearing that you quit your job to follow your passion.

As a fisherman, an aquarium hobbyist, and fellow fish breeder, I enjoyed this video immensely, thank-you for putting this together!

It's amazing to think that the tiny ones will grow into such spectacular creatures! This is one of the best homemade documentaries I have seen in a very long time. Great work🤩

These documentaries are my favorite, super informative and relaxing! Can’t wait to watch! 🤩🙌

This is hands down the best thing me and Leo have watched on UKposts in a long time

Yvo, We can't thank you enough for your decade-long enthusiasm and dedication to promote the love of Koi fish around the world. You shall win an Oscar award for Koi documentary films !!!

The poise, elegance and respect this video has for the breeders and koi is awsome. Its an amazing insight to care and attention that breeeders put into the care.

I’ve just found out the fry which don’t get selected are poured into the mature fish enclosures so they can predate on them. Good source of protein and the circle of life 👍

Very well done! The video is both informative and relaxing. You have a great narration style. It's very impressive that you and the breeders have developed a relationship that makes them willing to allow you behind the scenes. Looking forward to more.

Your love for these fish and Japan is clearly evident. Great vid.

Such a great documentary yvo, looking forward to your next creation and thank you for the extra insight into our hobby that we love even more now.💯

Excellent video Yvo, very professionally done. It's nice to see that you're so welcome at the koi breeders facilities and in their homes, they seem like lovely people. Without your warm approach we wouldn't have access to this fascinating footage. It would be great to have some technical information occasionally like ph values, temperature fluctuations etc. Many thanks.

The quality of your videos shows us that you Love what you do. Thank you for sharing such amazing experience and marvelous fishes with us. Best wishes brother!

Evo what a fantastic insight in to the koi breeding process I can’t believe they can put 3 day old fry in to a mud pond amazing brilliant documentary keep them coming mate All the best

Amazing doccumentary, it felt like it was 15 minutes long

Amazing documentary man!! The narration was on point and the film making was beautiful. Makes me remember of my trip to Japan when I visited Konishi Koi Farm in Hiroshima. I loved watching the amazing quality of the Japanese koi. Is there a way someone could tag along on one of your trips? I bet many people would love to do so, I know I would love that close experience in the farms. I live in El Salvador in Central America and have a regular job so its pretty difficult for me to find the time to travel so far now a days, but I've already been to Japan twice and will love for the 3rd time to have a koi centered trip!! Maybe buy a fish or two!! Good luck with your channel and videos, I really enjoy them very much!!

Thanks, Yvo for making your koi documentary. Very comprehensive, love how it’s all been put together and is complemented by the excellent choice of music. Well done, regards Stephen.

I appreciate how personal and slow-paced your documentary was. It was peaceful and relaxing, and it connects the watcher to people who live for the beauty of koi like hanging out with new friends and it inspires appreciation for their hard work. You took time and care into your video in all the right ways, so thank you.

Glad to see you’re following your passion with such dedication and commitment!! Such a remarkable piece of work you did!!

I have some Kois and they are lovely. Never knew breeding was this hard work. Thanks for such a wonderful documentation video. An eye-opener.

Really love to watch this best documentary of Koi ever.

I love these docus from you, they are very calm and wholesome to watch. Your editing, scene choices and music taste is also beautifully crafted together. Pls keep up the work, your vids are the reason I started to love and appreciate the beauty of koi!

This was an amAzing adventure into a completely different world! Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to share this!

That was one great documentary about breeding koi fish in Japan. Stunning videography works and great job buddy❤❤❤keep making it

What a fantastic documentary...fascinating!!! You definitely need to do more, not only informative but very relaxing too.

Great watch. Thanks for the hard work to bring it two us. Now quickly! Run to next room Lee is waiting for you.

Great video Evo. One of your best yet to date. Well done! Amazing how this hobby has literally taken over your life haha. Look forward to the next one.

Everything is good, but one drawback of this video is that it is too short. Thank you very much. Like

Been waiting for a quiet period where I can sit and appreciate this documentary to its full. It didn’t disappoint. Brilliant to follow your journey. A quality video filled with facts and information. Top work buddy 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Another awesome documentary. Thank you so much for all you do. Much respect and gratitude. ❤

Love all your work but this video documentary is something special🫡. Superb videography, great soundtrack and excellent narrative 👏. You have excelled yourself, thank you for producing and sharing your journey and experiences with us😊👍

I’am a koï lover from the Ivory Coast in west Africa. Love your documentaries a lot. Thank you for sharing.😊

This is the absolute greatest piece of work covering the Koi culture. Well done. 🥇

I just love learning about something so unique as this raising and breeding Koi. To see how large, they get from the beginning of the breeding process to the oldest and heaviest - seeing their unique color patterns is definitely a new experience for me. I don't know which ones I like the best. The whole business is amazing of how they are raised and transferred to the ponds. Such an enlightenment. The video really shines a light on how the Japanese take so much time and pride in the Koi. No wonder they are so expensive. They hold a special place in the heart of Japanese people. Loved this video - thank you so much!

Learn a lot about koi from this meticulously made documentary. Brilliant! Love it!

This was so interesting. Thank you for your hard work & determination. Amazing video!

Love watching you’re videos they are so informative and calming , was fun to see you with Ryan and Lee recently too 🤗

Amazing documentary! I can't understand why it's so underrated 😮 this video deserve thousands of positive impressions 👍👍👍

What an amazing video! I live in Taiwan and have a bunch of Japanese friends. Well, it's basically around the corner. I can so relate to what you said in the beginning... about a peaceful and structured place. It's so fascinating. Thank you so much for this wonderful documentary!

I'm watching from Philippines 🇵🇭 I'm waiting your new videos on Japan

A brilliant insight to the Japanese koi. A brilliant documentary, hopefully get there one day. Watched this many times 😊👍

Extremely well done docu! A pleasure to watch!

I'm a big Fan from Germany.... Great Job !!!! And the best, learning english for my self......thank you!

Wow, this was fascinating! Thank you for giving us a glimpse into the secretive world of championship koi breeding. Truly, the exacting care exhibited at every level of the process shows what a valued national treasure they are to Japanese culture.

This was a beautifully shot and highly informative video on a subject I've always wondered about. Thank you so much for sharing! P.S. Does the Lady who runs the Koi shop near the train station have any sort of online store? I would love to support her despite being on the other side of the planet.

Your awesome documentaries get better and better as the years go by!

Hey Yvo, What an interesting video about the koi breeding. I've never known that. And I'm glad to see that the not selected baby koi go to auction instead of being destroyed. I'm very interested in Japan and the Japanese culture. Thank you for educating me. Saying hi from Zwolle, the Netherlands. 🤗

They are truly living works of art.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL fish! I never knew they lived for so long. I never knew they changed color from the black carp to the colorful Koi. Thank you for sharing!!! 💛💛💛

Amazing! desperately waiting for next episode!

Fascinating! Good job with the documentary. I enjoyed it immensely. My mother and I are/were just home hobbyists with a small pond but enjoyed koi and had some success with unplanned breeding in the pond that produced healthy offspring. My mother named her favorites that were kept in the pond: Goji, Cheetah, Pearl, and others. Fond memories and I share your enthusiasm for this wonderful pet fish.

Thank you very very much for filming this it is really precious and your presentation is also really amazing ❤

Unbelievably Grateful! Thank you for making this wonderful documentary. You have revealed the true story about the culture of koi and the people who make it possible. This is the documentary I have always wanted to see! Extremely proud of you 🎉

Like the video’s before you did a great job. It’s educative en relaxing to Watch. Please continue, looking forward to the next one. Greatings from the Netherlands.

I don't even know when was the last time I was so immersed in a documentary. Absolutely beautiful ❤️

Thank you so much for sharing, it’s great to find out this history behind these breeders which bring us some truly beautiful koi ❤

Such stunning creatures. My favorites are the butterfly koi (The long finned ones...) with large scales. Like little beautiful dragons swimming through the ponds...

Brilliant documentary. I was glued to it as I was rearing fish as a hobby when I was younger.

Not enough words to express the feeling of gratitude your video inspires. Made my day! Thank you so very much!

As you said "its really living art"❤ Thank you!

Brilliant video Yvo, it takes me back to my fond memories of when I used to breed koi 😊

Love the video, keep up the outstanding work.

I've been eagerly awaiting this video on Japanese koi fish farming and breeding, and I must say, it did not disappoint! The insight and expertise shared here are truly invaluable. Watching the beauty of koi breeding and the dedication behind their cultivation has been an absolute delight. Thank you for bringing this fascinating world closer to us. Can’t wait for more content like this!

Thank you! I always wondered about the history of koi. Very informative video with great narration. Your music choices were excellent as well. Keep up the good work! 😊

The quality of the videos rises up to a higher level with each one. The biggest "problem" is that you need/want so much info in a short amount of time. Maybe it is an idea to make several (a series) of documentaries in which you follow a koi breeder throughout the year. You now have an excellent relation with some breeders which allow you to follow their activities. throughout the year. Maybe make a documentary for each step they do in the breeding of koi. The separate documentaries might be a bit shorter, but as a whole they might be the gemstone everybody is waiting for. Some steps I can think of are: preparing a mud pond, from dry, clean, (maybe chicken manure) and filling (how is it done and why? are there differences between breeders/regions), what do they do after the koi have left the pond, how do they clean it? Breeding the koi, How do they choose the oyagoi? natural or artificial breeding, the selections, what do they look for in various steps in the selection process. Maybe this info for some different varieties? What does happen with the koi that do not pass the selection, when really small. and what happens when they are already a little bigger (12cm+)? Older koi: How does the breeder select the koi he wants to grow to nisai, sansai and even older. What does a breeder look for when selecting/holding back potential oyagoi? How are the oyagoi kept in top condition for breeding? Buying a koi, what has to be done to get your fish abroad. prepare the koi for shipment/transport, pack the koi, transport them by truck, plane, van/car, customs/vetrenary. what kind of paperwork do you need to fill in? And maybe a longer documentary on selecting a koi. what do you look for with examples of the really good fish, but maybe even more important the koi where it is not the best. This is always very difficult to understand. Why? because "they" always show you the "perfect" koi, but if you have no comparison, it's more difficult to understand. Of course you do not need to bother the breeder every time for a "interview" they have enough to do without you asking them questions all the time. but when you do you might wanna use subtitles. For one because their English is not always the best, but more importantly, you often have a lot of background noise from the ponds which it more difficult to understand and follow. Again, keep up the good videos you are making, they are very informative and of excellent quality!

The love and passion to do what they do must not be just the moneys to be made, more so I guess to retain the legacies of the breed of kois they have produce. What happens to all those that finally no one wants to buy or take?

Deeply touched, I appreciated your well-thought and fun documenting into the art and science of Koi breeding journey.

Thank you for the documentary, amazing breeding process!

Absolutely spectacular my friend! It gave me and the wife goosebumps!! We definitely want more documentaries like this!! Just wow 😮

I always enjoy your videos and documentarys. The commentary is really good. Fair the best going. Keep up the good work. 🏆👊

What a great documentary. I’m kind of surprised that an amateur could create content of such quality. I’ve never had an interest in koi but that was so enjoyable and interesting and well produced that it seemed to go by in a flash. Your passion is heartfelt and I look forward to seeing more of your content. Well done. 👍🏼

Beautiful Video! Please don't stop making them. They are extremly enjoyable. Thank you.
