Yamabuki Ogon

In our newest koi discussions series, we introduce a beautiful Yamabuki Ogon on a brand new set, next to Shawn McHenry's showcase pond at Mystic Koi and Water Gardens in Upland, Ca. We learn new Japanese words used to describe color, texture, markings, flowers, size and age of these beautiful fish. Strength, perseverance, money, and the chrysanthemum flower are all highly regarded in Japanese culture and all displayed in this wonderful fish. Learn why the Yamabuki Ogon represents so much more than just a fish in this koi discussion tutorial video.

Our tutorial video series is designed to Educate, Inspire, and showcase the beauty, art, and history of Japanese koi. World Renowned Koi Expert Shawn McHenry offers us a very special insight to the discussions including behind the scenes stories from his trips to Japan to acquire rare and unusual fish for his clients. We gain the most incredible insight from Shawn's experience, his warm personality, and his ever changing collection of beautiful fish he brings in for sale.
