A NEW MAGAZINE
FOR THE KOI HOBBYIST
TO ENJOY
Liam Bess.
Well, it’s official – World of Nishikigoi, Volume One –
is now in production!
By nature, I’m someone that would much rather show
you the magazine than talk about it. However, I also
appreciate that many of you will be thinking.
“Who are you, and why are you producing
a Koi magazine?”
To be fair, they’re valid questions! So, I’ll fill you in on a
few more details. I’ve been a fanatic Koi keeper for a
little over 20 years, I’ve worked in the industry as a
dealer, been to Japan on buying trips and more
recently, I’ve run a blog promoting and documenting
the hobby and Show Scene. The magazine felt like a
logical (albeit bold) transition to exciting new territory.
I’VE BEEN A Nutshell
FANATIC KOI World of Nishikigoi is an independent, enthusiast-driven
magazine that looks to celebrate all things Nishikigoi.
KEEPER FOR A
Elaborate?
LITTLE OVER
Despite being completely independent, this magazine
20 YEARS is not for the voice of one – it’s for the voice of many. A
collaborative platform for Koi enthusiasts (professionals
and hobbyists) to share their knowledge and experiences
in the hope of aiding better understanding and
enjoyment. The magazine will creatively and positively
champion one of the very best hobbies on earth –
NISHIKIGOI!
