Origins and Growth of Koi Chapters in Asia
Asia is where koi first transformed from humble carp into symbols of beauty, balance and perseverance.
について 全日本有隣会, founded in Japan in 1962, provided not only the structure for competitive judging
but also a philosophy that connected people through shared appreciation of koi as living art.
From these roots, koi chapters blossomed across the continent. Each one, while independent, holds fast to the ZNA
principles of education, respect and lifelong friendship.
Local climates, from tropical Thailand to temperate Korea, have driven innovation in pond design, feeding strategies
and breeding methods. The result is a living mosaic of koi culture that continues to evolve.
The following overview presents key Asia Koi Chapters recognized for their dedication to Nishikigoi.
Each contributes uniquely — from research and show organization to community outreach and youth education —
ensuring that koi remain ambassadors of peace and craftsmanship throughout the region.
Asia Koi Associations and Chapters
Korea Chapter
The creation of a formal Korean Koi Chapter is a crucial next step for the region.
Korea already holds a deep connection to koi through its artistry, garden culture and Buddhist heritage,
yet it still lacks an officially recognized national koi association under ZNA.
I, ヒューゴ・J・スマル, consider the establishment of this chapter of utmost importance.
Korea’s koi community deserves its rightful place in the international koi family, and I am fully committed to
supporting its foundation — from structural guidance to knowledge exchange with existing chapters.
Anyone willing to assist in its formation or to share insight is warmly invited to
contact me directly.

From Korea’s emerging community to established institutions in Taiwan and Thailand, every chapter adds a unique
perspective shaped by culture, climate and creativity.
The future of koi in Asia depends on collaboration — across generations, across borders, and across minds.
I personally believe that the Korean chapter can play a key role in this shared future, bridging
the traditions of Japan and the innovation of Southeast Asia.
