I think we always should try to introduce to you all, the place we live and work.  It is kind of our duty. From now I will write some serial articles under name: Niigata brand. This time I am gonna to introduce one of the Niigata's brand: Nishiki koi. The home town of  Nishiki koi is Yamakoshi village of Niigata prefecture ,where I used to work. So, I can proudly say,that Nishiki Koi is Niigata's brand. 
 Koi is a Japanese word meaning “carp”. The word Koi is also associated with love and affection.. The main Koi fish meaning for hobbyists that keep them in ponds is Nishiki koi, or brocaded carp.  Even though most people picture the large brightly colored fish seen in ornamental ponds, Koi can also refer to plain gray Asian carp as well. Koi are active and social fish, happily coexisting with other fish and rarely holding still. They are also known for their long life, most live 20 to 30 years! Legend has it that the oldest Koi fish, named Hanako, lived to the ancient age of 223! Since Koi fish are a long lived, they are also considered a sign of longevity. The fish come in a display of bright colors such as orange, yellow, white, red, and black. You can find fantail koi, which have long draping fins and tails.
