21:30 Woah! Look how beautiful that country side is!!! I wish it were that beautiful here in the US where I'm at. That view is stunning! Japan has beauty like no other thanks to the people taking great care of it. Beautiful island country! I love these traditional farms that go down from generation to generation where their craft is perfected to a tee too. The passion and pride they take in their work is incredible.
It’s quite amazing to see the father when he picks up the fish vs the sons. All are supremely skilled, but the father just has a way to settle the fish down, they are much calmer. Plus, he doesn’t just pick them up, he cradles and gives them hand-hugs, if that makes sense. Great to watch
Much more survive than in the wild. If you have 800,000 fish selection is needed. The first cull is pure on healthy or not. The ones thrown out are deformed or not spry. The ones that would have been picked off by predators anyway.
I have to say, watching this was.. oddly relaxing and beautiful. I think it was the music, paired with the subject of creating life. It comforts me that because Koi are historically quite sacred in Japanese culture, the Koi are treated with absolute respect and care.
Thanks for the footage, I have a long lasting passion for fish, especially koi I find watching koi so relaxing, I simply allow all my stress and frustration be absorbed by the red colours and allow grief and sorrow to be absorbed by the black colours. I am truly grateful that I am able to visit koi farms and competions in Japan through the Internet. An educational treat for the senses
Hoi @@cr9281 allereerst tot dat je even reageert. Het reageren onderling is puur om de kanalen te promoten. Daarnaast kreeg ik vaak het verzoek alle video’s van het kweken in een lange video te posten. Dat heb ik dus gedaan 😄
I spent more than 20 years as a koi keeper. Now that I am to old ,with no one to do the work. I no longer have them. They are truly living jewels and I miss sitting near the pond or waterfalls feeding the koi. It was the only time I relaxed. I should have done more relaxing near the pond.
Wow! Such a beautiful fish! Watching they way this family breed and raise is like an art form. They’re absolute masters of their trade, and such a privilege to be allowed to see their process💗
Love learning about this process. I wish a little more detail was provided about what happens to non selected koi and what koi are considered "good" vs "bad" I wish there was more narration in some parts as well as I missed information a few times because of sudden text and those parts I had to replay several times because the text went away too fast.
The not so perfect koi are sold to fish stores. I bought 2 beauties from a breeder, raised them from youngsters. They became so friendly that I ended up loving them like a cat or dog. I had to find them a new home around 7 years old and I miss them to this day. Hope they are doing well.
Is there any footage of the recently hatched fry and how they transfer them into the ponds? Amazing video, I am very excited to some day have my own koi pond. Your videos are definitely inspiring me!
AMAZING VIDEO!!! GREAT JOB. SHINTARO KOI FARMS, MAKES YOU TRULY ENJOY EVERYTHING ABOUT THEIR CULTURE AND KOI. TRULY LEADING THE WAY. BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE WHOLE FAMILY. THANK YOU. The koi here make you/me feel calm and at peace. Their colors are bright and strong, like Life.
I like when any kind of farming is 100% transparent. Very interesting, informative and beautifully done. Thanks for the video and thanks for the team at Shintaro Koi farm. 🌺🙏
Carp breeding gives people healing. Especially for those who have a busy profession, carp breeding will enrich their daily lives and enrich their lives.
You can really tell that he has thought his sons well in handling theses beautiful fish in a gentle, calm and controlled manner!! ❤️ with love! You have a new subscriber for sure!! 👍🏻
I love the gentle handling of these fish, regardless of their size. It's a beautiful video to watch! Just wondering if a hose or water slide would be better for the family's backs? Or would that damage the scales?
Such a beautiful fish with so much history, so much hard work and care put into this job. Thank you for such beautiful culture. The fish is truly a living piece of art.
Not sure if I missed it, (also haven’t finished yet) but what happens to the koi that don’t get picked? Surprised so many hatch yet so little get picked :o very cool
They throw them in the trash. I’m in my second year of fish keeping and had wondered the same thing. I hoped the culled fry served some kind of purpose like as fertilizer or food for other animals. But no. Just trash.
I've been wondering the same thing...I have a friend and they(family) rearing catfish, they do keep every hatchling unless they die off so im surprised with how these guys just trash their hatchling
@@bidav2114, Koi is the rich mans game. To keep prices high you keep the demand high, you don't flood the market with great fish, you only sell the best of the best and you kill the rest. They said 30,000ish fry per batch, and your lucky if you see 30 fish in that pond on the last harvest. I found this very sad to watch.
I actually own 3 shintaro tosai, and I’m in the UK so I’m guessing after the first couple of selection they sell the ones they don’t want! Not sure but that’s my guess, still outstanding quality tho, but not quite show fish, for example I have a great Kohaku but it has a tiny red speck on its fin which would be marked down at a show so im guessing that’s why it was sold on.
Thanks Yvo, The work and dedication to the health of the adults then the eggs, selection of fry and so on is just admirable. I can see how it could be a lifelong passion.
What happens to the rejected ones? I'm only half way through so I hope they cover that... I bought Koi at a privately owned pet store when I was a teenager, had them in a 55 galon fish tank until they were aboht 112 inches each and about 4 years old... Then gave them to a friend who had a pond. I never looked up what kind they were, i remember I had one that was a shiny pearly metallic yellow gold in color with large plate like scale down its back. She was lovely! She was a butterfly koi with the longer fancy fins. She ended up being bigger than all the regular one's. I bought them all when they were about 3 inches in size and about $9. I think the gold butterfly was $15. This was back in the early 90's maybe late 80's.....
I know some fish owners will mix water with clove oil, and slowly add it to a bucket with the fish. It basically acts as an anesthesia, and if you add alot to the water, it causes the fish to fall asleep painlessly.
@@Queenofthatank What was rare about her? She layed eggs twice, but they were never fertilized as far as I could tell. They all went to waist and I ended up having to remove them from the tank, what weren't eaten by the others or the cat fish that is. She was beautiful, I remember in the early hours of the summer mornings the light came through the back window behind the tank and she would just shine. The shop owner didn't like her because she had the plate like scales on her back instead of the normal scales. But she reminded me of a golden dragon. And her long butterfly fins were stunning. He said if she was any other type and color he would have marked her price up. He was suppose to get red and white butterflies, and instead she was the only butterfly he received, the red & whites all had normal fins.
Love seeing these beautiful swimming jewels. You have shown some exceptional Koi in your visits. Thank you. My favorite is the 3 colored...just like a Calico Cat. My favorite also. It would be helpful if when putting written script on the video if you could leave it up for a moment longer. I read well but have difficulty reading it all. Thank you for your consideration.
What an amazing video 😍 to see the beautiful cycle of Koi life is so peaceful yet exciting! The Koi here are gorgeously beautiful. I also love the village as well! I would love to visit Japan, and visiting this area would be awesome ❤️ thank you for this video!
I thought it was interesting but not peaceful at all or natural at all. Kinda felt bad that they have to go through all that just to make more fish for humans. But it's cool seeing the process anyway.
Thank you for that amazing video. The koi featured are absolutely amazing and It's hard to believe they can grow so large in such a short period of time. I wish I had a pond large enough to house koi like that and of course the money necessary to purchase koi of that quality. For now however your videos will be as close as I get to them.
Javanese culture in Indonesia understands that koi fish are a type of lucky fish, success for "The Koi ......" ....Central Java, Indonesia watch this video
If you look again it looks like there's string/rope going over the ponds, I imagine it's effective in stopping anything that swoops down. Eagles would have no problem at all with the koi, a lot of eagles will carry off lambs and deer. I suppose if something gets caught on the string once it won't attempt again
In 1985-1986, I was a student worker at the University of Hawaii at Manoa on the island of Oahu. I worked on Coconut Islad, a research facility called HIMB or Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology. My boss was a grad student doing research on spawning and grownup of the Chinese Catfish, Clarius fuscus. I learned these techniques and am amazed to see this video. This reminds me of my college days. So wonderful!
Ty for sharing. So much respect and extreme care for each fish, from fry to giant size. What are the wires over the mud ponds? How do they protect the kois from predatory birds or lizards? Thanks.
Congratulation, I think that is your best video ! Is important to inform that behind a jumbo koi there is a lot of work. You are the best on the RUclips koi community ! I love this and a big thank you from italy !!
The hard work really pays off in the end! Kudos to the owner and his 2 sons. The kois are beautiful and well grown. I love and hoping to take care some of these kois someday 🤞💐❤️
The colours and the markings on these fish are just wow absolutely stunning

ITS SO RELAXING TO WATCH THIS VIDEO.ESPECIALLY TO SEE HOW PERFECT EVERY FISH LOOKS LIKE.
EVERY ONE THAT CAME OUT OF THOSE PONDS WAS SO AMAZING
I love the amount of respect they show towards the fishes. Japanese people are definitely the best koi breeders. Thanks for sharing
Respect only for those that are beautiful, the others.....😢😢😢
after going down a koi rabbit hole today, I really appreciate the detail you went into here. absolutely fascinating. thank you.

Everyone: I love how gentle they are with the koi
Me: watching them chuck Fry into a lake like a FedEx package
I find it so sad, that if one is beautiful, its treated gingerly while the ones they don't consider worthy are thrown and tossed around like garbage.
They go and be sold for a lower price and go to smaller more affordable fish stores
They are at buckets with no water, I saw footages of unwanted koi toss into ground to die.
@@weepeng that makes me so sad :(
It's how the world are just look at celebrities they are treated differently then from the rest of us.

Not that I know of :P
You did see him throwing the rejects on the ground right?
I thought he chucked them back in the pond 🤔🤔
I dont think missing scales matter with breeding stock. Its the genetics they want 👍
bruh, of course they had to be gentle, these fishes cost a fortune
Such a beautiful fish with so much history, so much hard work and care put into this job. Thank you for such beautiful culture. The fish is truly a living piece of art.

Wao very good
excellent video.
Q. What do they feed on in the mud ponds?
Q. how do they get protected against predators e.g eagles?
They said that they are fed a variety of high quality koi food. Im also guessing they are far too big for eagles to catch
If you look again it looks like there's string/rope going over the ponds, I imagine it's effective in stopping anything that swoops down.
Eagles would have no problem at all with the koi, a lot of eagles will carry off lambs and deer. I suppose if something gets caught on the string once it won't attempt again
