Teruo Hiroi, Marusaka's Koi Farms in Niigata

Since Marusaka’s Taisho Sanshoku (Sanke) won the category champion at the All Japan Nishikigoi Show in 1947, it has been called Marusaka Sanke. The family is committed to raising a Marusaka Sanke that will once again sweep through the Nishikogi world. Marusaka Koi Farm is also known as one of Niigata’s few Midorigoi breeders. My father launched the Nishikigoi business to conform to the Nishikigoi boom of the 1950s. Since Miyakoya, pioneer of the Nishikigoi business in the area and founder of the first wholesale market in Niigata, and Izumiya are our relatives, my family naturally went into the Nishikigoi industry. The roads were not paved at the time, and it took more than 3 days for my father to only deliver the Koi, so I helped him from a young age. I already owned a pond when I was in my higher-grade at elementary school. My family had many rice paddies inherited from our ancestors. There were swords and antique documents stored at the head family, so I believe we were a samurai family. Most of the swords were taken up during the war, but there are still many documents
